Living in Texas...Living in the World

In Texas we go for months wondering if it will ever rain again. Then, we go for periods of time wondering if it will ever stop! Then we fight against the bugs and little critters that try to invade our homes and businesses all summer. And how about the storms that roar through with hail and tornadoes that wipe out a block of homes or a small town in just minutes.
But these “problems” were here before Texas was settled. I guess that’s what we can expect when we build our homes and cities on the frontier! As long as we’re living in Texas we’ll be faced with these nuisances and inconveniencies.
It’s the same with just being a Christian in a fallen world. Sin, violence, hatred, unfairness, and road rage…it’s all a part of being on the planet. As long as we’re living in the world we’ll be faced with these nuisances and injustices.
Thank God for His redeeming love. He sent Jesus to redeem us from this and give us a real future. As long as we live here now, let’s live for Jesus each and every day. The world needs what have, and needs to know what we know.
