Age

The above quote is important in many ways. As we age it becomes very relevant in life. I found it interesting that change is a thing to be feared instead of embraced mainly due to the speed at which it is progressing. It would seem that the technologies being developed are advancing without regard to the consequences being considered. The results of the atomic weapons used in war are a good example. True atomic power has a myriad of peaceful uses but is also destructive on a scale that is mind boggling. Scientists are on the verge of developing atomic fusion reactors that make our current power plants look like toys. AI (artificial intelligence) is being developed at a breakneck speed. That is truly scary. Where is all of this going? There is nothing I can do about any of these things. Back in Jesus' day it was mostly the power and cruelty of the Romans, the cold power and greed of the Jewish Sanhedrin, disease, poverty and the condition of the human spirit. The time may have changed but the conditions haven't. Only the players have. Fear and age would seem to magnify one another. Why are you so afraid? (Mark 4:40) Do not fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. (Proverbs 3:25,26) God gave us a spirit of power, love and self discipline not a spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1:7) We are not to fear those who can kill the body but not the soul. (Matthew 10:28) We are given a promise of sonship not a spirit of slavery to fear. (Romans 8:15) We are given a spirit of peace if we but accept it. (John 14:27) We cannot control where this world is headed. We can control where we are headed and where our spirits are destined to be.
