You have heard the expression, "what on earth is going on?" The Apostle
Paul in 2 Timothy answers this question from of old. He tells us in Chapter
3:1-5,

"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men
will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers,
disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable,
malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of
God; holding a form of godliness, although they have denied its power;"
then Paul says, "and avoid such men as these."

Take heart, we belong to the Lord!
The Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:10.
"...Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might." He then goes
on to describe the armor that we are to wear to be able to stand,
Vs. 11-17.

Remember it is God who said,
"Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.," Isaiah 41:10

Be strong in the Lord!
Ephesians 6:10 in the Amplified Bible reads,
"In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union
with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His
boundless might provides].

"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."
1 Corinthians 16:13

"You, therefore my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 2:1

It is the Lord's strength not ours!
"The Lord is their (His people) strength,
And He is a saving defense to His anointed." Psalm 28:8

"God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear..." Psalm 46:1-2

"...But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalm 73:26

"How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee..." Psalm 84:5

There is strength in weakness and the Apostle Paul knew this well, he says,
"...God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which
are strong." 1 Corinthians 1:27
"And He (the Lord) has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you for power
is perfected in weakness'...Therefore I am well content with
weaknesses...for when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

So with confidence we say,
"The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
Psalm 118:6 The Amplified Bible

So then let us, with confidence and peace, join the Psalmist in Psalm 28:7
singing,
"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him."

This is a message of several years ago, but apropos for all that is happening is
the world today!
 
Thank You Most Holy God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit for Your loving kindness 
and tender mercies.  Our trust is in You and You alone. We love You, Lord!  
Amen
