Hope In Crisis: Where Do We Turn?

Where do we run when crisis strikes? Do we stock up on bottled water and toilet paper? Do we seek horoscopes or advice columns? Right now the world is in crisis. Whether we believe the cause is real or imagined does not matter. The events transpiring at this moment will affect the future for all of us. Whether we are afraid of getting sick, afraid of what this panic will do to the economy, or just annoyed by the mass hysteria, we all have a choice. Where will we turn for truth, help and hope?

Fear Of Dying

Many people have a fear of dying. No one will escape death, but no one knows how or when they will die. Many also do not know what happens after death. Especially in America, the idea of Hell has many people worried even if they do not believe in God or life after death. That fear can actually be good, as a motive to discover eternal life, but that fear should never overwhelm us, especially as believers.

Psalm 116:15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.
