Insurance Versus Assurance. Part [8] 04/11/2025 (Morning thought)

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

[The Great Controversy pp 589] While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hail-storms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power.

He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast.

So, the question is, how is the Christian to navigate all of these things, which are scheduled to increase exponentially? How could we, who are so immersed in the insurance industries, who depend upon them for almost everything, be weaned off of the systems to the point where assurance will take the place of insurance? Let us just say here that we would have to become accustomed to doing things, and mitigating things in a completely different manner, from what we now consider to be the gold standard.

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Insurance Versus Assurance. Part [7] 04/11/2025 (Evening thought)

Psalms 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

This fact, Jesus had to make plain to His disciples as they called for retribution on persons who did not see eye to eye with Christ’s request. So, let us say it again, God does not stand as a destroyer towards the human family, it is satan and his minions who in most cases are doing the dirty work. And then, poor mortals are found giving voice to his work of accusing God, when disasters are declared to be an act of God.

Luke 9: 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

Isaiah 14: 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Isaiah 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word “Good night” and God bless!
