Iron Sharpens Iron, Men Strengthen Men

If you are like me and as we all can observe, there is a great deal going on in our world right now that just might, and probably does, push you towards anxiety or even fear. Why? Because we don’t know how all this chaos is going to affect our families. We keep asking the question; What does the future hold for us? And the only answer I can provide is “Only God knows”. 

What I do know is that in the Bible we are told to remain faithful until He returns. As Christians, we are given specific things we should do that are found in scripture that come directly from the mouth of Christ. He tells us how we are to behave, react, and what to believe. 

To be honest, I find these scriptures comforting because sometimes it seems that what I’m reading is describing exactly what I’m seeing around me. God already knew that Earths chaos and turmoil and the fear for our future would occur so He gave us His Word to help faithful Christians prepare for the inevitable future.

Guys please understand that I am not the crier of doom and gloom. What I am is that guy whose purpose is to remind us of what is already there in Gods Word. As I said before, what I write on Iron-man-strength.com isn’t new or undiscovered; It has been in the Bible the whole time, it is just that many of us (myself included) are too busy to take the time to read or listen to what God wants us to see. 

So for the next several posts, I am going to show you exactly what God wants you to remember, understand, and most of all, apply to our lives. 

I  believe that we are living in a time when God is actively revealing His sovereign plan all around us and at the same time, there is an intense attraction towards the things of this world which seems more powerful than ever before. This pull  of the enemy can sometimes be overwhelmingly strong, full of temptation, and requiring a deeply rooted, faithful Christian walk to stand firm against the relentless desires constantly thrown in our direction.

But REMEMBER, you are equipped with the power to resist.

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self- controlled, upright and Godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.  (Titus 2:11-13 NIV)

As a reminder, my purpose is that you can see for yourself what God’s Word says and use it to help you and your family to fight this battle. Remember, the pull of this world is strong; I am sure you have felt it; But the strength you have available from God is far stronger…IF YOU USE IT. 

He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Stay tuned for the next few posts coming where we will look at the things we are supposed to do while we wait for Gods return. I have also compiled some scripture for you in one place to make it easier for you to consume. 

Guys, I can assure you that we ARE NOT supposed to hide in our panic rooms and try and ride out the storm.

God has other plans for us that involve standing up for Him. I urge you again to remain faithful until He returns.

Until next time guys…
