Degenerating or Regenerating?

I'm almost positive that there is a law of science which mentions (paraphrased by me) that nothing gets better, everything is degenerating, breaking down, etc. You know what I'm talking about? They say from the moment a baby is born, it starts to die. Just looking in our own lives we can see health fail, finances straggling, etc. It can be down-right depressing if you start looking at it all from that point of view. Gas prices sky-rocket and so follows the food prices, toiletries...just stuff that we use to live in this world. When you look around at all the disasters brought about by earthquakes, tsunami, and as of late...tornadoes, when you see whole communities vanish and a family's possessions get wiped out it can really wake you up. We take so much for granted.
As a child of God, I am so thankful that everything in life is NOT on the downward cycle. God has provided us with stability! We know for certain that He will NEVER change which offers us a stronghold to hang on to. What a blessed assurance! He's also promised us that His Word would never change. Isn't it amazing how you can read and re-read the Bible and its always new and refreshing each time? God has given us His Word and many promises to hold on to....that is POSITIVE!
When one stops and thinks about it, in this world we have mostly negative. Look at the newspaper and you'll quickly see there's more "bad" things in it than uplifting. Even if you listen to people's conversations, often times there is very little positive worth in it. Shame on us! In times like these we need our Savior. He is our life-line!!! In His Omniscience, he realized that the closer to His coming we get, the more we would need to rely on Him to make it. What hope have we in this world of ours? If I had hope in this life only, I'd just be miserable. BUT GOD!!!! He is a constant. So many people turn their back on God or to drugs, alcohol and things that destroy and only make life worse. God wants to offer something that will give you a total different outlook - it's kind of like - OUT OF THIS WORLD!
So, just a word of encouragement if you feel you're all alone and everything seems to be going wrong....take a close look and evaluate where you are in your relationship with God. If that is in good shape, then just hang on to the PROMISES and use the artillery He's provided you with. If you should find that you're not quite where you really need to be...if you're relationship isn't as close as it needs to be with Him...if there are things you need to take care of - DO IT! Why hold on to things which will pull you down??? Remember the law of science...it DOESN'T need our help. Get your heart right, your eyes on the Master and your thoughts on praising the wonderful Savior we know as our EVERYTHING!
When you look at it in the right perspective...you're whole attitude will change. Realize how blessed you are to be a child of the King! Walk in that realm! Live your life as worship to the Lord! Yes, things in this life degenerate but with God in our lives, we can daily REGENERATE! Jesus is coming soon - hold on, look up and shine like never before. God bless~
