In days past there was no mass media.  A man lived and prayed according to the knowledge he had.  He helped who came his way and did what he could in his own little corner of life.  It is not the same today in regard to media and knowledge.  But man has not changed.

While we listen to the media and hear from our friends of a massive turmoil in this world, let’s remember something.  One way to win over an opponent is to swamp him with so much to defend that he cannot focus on the singular attack which will pronounce him defeated.  You are no different than cain or able (or any other man), in that you are a singular human.  We war with what we have, not what we are yelled at to respond to. 

Focus your attention on those things which you can effect in a positive manner.  dispel the call for praying and giving for every worthy need.  Though God is able to grant us far more than we can even imagine, we are still warriors placed on a certain plot of ground.  Do not let this world confuse you with the myriad of requests you now hear.  Keep your focus on Jesus and do what He gives you to do.  He knows we are limited.  Keep your hope fresh and do not waver in your faith.  Isn’t our faith the object the enemy is trying to defeat?

By His Grace.
