John 17:15-16, 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
America is 14.3 trillion dollars in debt. This debt is so astronomical that only the interest is being paid; and to add insult to misery, the debt is increasing every day! Many wonder if our country will go bankrupt. We are paying more on everything and getting less; our bills are going up but, our paychecks remain the same; taxes are weighing us down, but we are not receiving the services of yesteryears; and millions are just a paycheck away from poverty. How did a nation once known for its richness get in such a pickle? Even the rich are concerned. In a depression, disaster, or total destruction, all men become equal (Rev. 6:12-17).
Speaking of the believers Jesus said, “They are not of this world, even as I am not of this world.” Yes we live in the world, but we are not apart of its failing system. “The earth is the Lord’s.” The resources and richness of this world belong to the children of the Living God. This is why no present government can fix the gapping hole in the pipeline, so to speak. Jesus wanted us to know that the problems of the world do not belong to us. As believers we belong to an everlasting kingdom. A kingdom whose leader may be a man, but he is also very much God! So as our Master did for us, let us continue to pray as this world’s system sinks deeper into the abyss from whence there is no return. And don’t you worry or panic; have faith in God (Mark 11:22-24). No matter what the reports of the world says, “This World is Not Our Home.”
