Our Anchor in a World Adrift: 7 Stats You Need to Know to Serve the King
These are turbulent times and it is hard to stay firmly grounded with the constant waves of change. Every day when we wake up a new crisis or upheaval seems to be waiting for us. But with our anchor in Jesus, believers have the hope that we can thrive even on these stormy seas. Explore 7 stats in today’s Missiographic that give a picture of this very tumultuous age in which we live, but at the same time they can prepare you to strengthen your hope in Jesus and reach out in love to those who are hurting.
Did you know that about 200 million people are without work, or that about 800,000 people around the world each year take their lives, or that 49 million people move to cities annually, or that about 11% of people globally claim no religion? There’s a lot going on in the world that we need to know about and consider seriously!
Personal Reflection
Whether we turn on the television or walk down our street, the turmoil facing our world is evident. Our challenge is to see the violent waves of change in light of God’s Kingdom. He is coming and we know the outcome He has promised. So as you look at these 7 stats and try to get your head around the struggles facing our world today, be encouraged. How can you look at these stats in the security of your faith? What about these statistics will open up new avenues of ministry for you to reach out to the hurting across our world?
Prayer
Dear God, as we look around us and see all of the giant waves and the stormy seas of life, it is easy to lose faith in You. But You have promised to be our anchor and to give us the strength and the resources necessary to serve You in any setting. Please be our strong foundation and give us the courage to rest in Your strength and reach out confidently to those struggling all around us. Amen
