Traveling the world gives airline people a unique, though perhaps sometimes disturbing, look at the state of that world.
It is vital these days to affirm to ourselves, and to our brethren in the faith, that our Lord knows exactly what is going on and is ultimately using whatever it is to further His redemptive ends.
He is supremely capable of glorifying His Name in the midst of the worsening conditions of this world while working good in our lives, even in the face of real persecution.
He is also capable of bringing many new truly committed believers into the fold, even, and especially, in times like these, and we, it should be said, are privileged to be used by Him to that end.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
