Observing the Signs of The Times - What's the Point?

 
The signs of Jesus's return are everywhere. Look around, there are natural disasters, there are wars and rumors of wars. Nations  are rising up against each other and violence is rampant. We are told by Jesus to understand the signs of the times. But what is the point if as followers of Christ we are so divided among ourselves and caught up in the media fed negativity? As followers of Christ our focus should be warning against the horrors of hell and sharing the gospel of Christ and the hope of heaven.
 
Hallelujah! No One Can Be Against You When Gods For You! ❤ - Matthew 24:
 
II Timothy 3: 1- 5a You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.
 
John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

The Burden Indecision

Some of us are control freaks. We want to know the answer to every question or what to do in every situation and when we don't it makes us crazy! It's exhausting!
 
Seasoned saints may feel inadequate because they don't seem "spiritually-minded" enough to figure things out. The beauty of it is we don't have to! In fact if we take a look at Proverbs chapter 3:5-7 we can see that indeed we are not to trust in our own understanding, but talk to our Father about everything and then rest in Him. He is the One who is  Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent!
 
The answers we seek will come when we let go of whatever is bothering us, sit at His feet and let Him hold us for a while.
 
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. 
Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬ Song: Just Be Held - Casting Crowns:
 
 
*Proverbs 3:5-7(NLT)  Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
 
*Matthew 11:28 (NLT) Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
