Worth and Worthy to Represent

Can I share a few thoughts with you in regards to the catastrophic events that have been taking place around the world. First off, these things are hard, and even harder to swallow, without finding a bitter taste in our mouths, anger and outrage in our spirits, and a sickness in our stomachs. Secondly, they are new to us in many ways, but they're not new to this planet we dwell upon. They have been around a long time.

Jesus warned us in Luke 21 and Matthew 24... and specifically in 21:34-36 that if we're not careful, we would be overwhelmed and weighed down by the trouble He mentioned in the previous verses (7-33). We can become so affected by the events and atmosphere of the times that we can get to the place that we'll be as useless as a drunkard on a terrible hangover.

He was teaching them, and therefore, us, that if we're not cautious, we'll let the challenges we're confronted with consume our focus and attention and get so weighed down and burdened by it that it trips us up from being a servant of a King that can make a real and lasting difference.
