Living in an Upside Down World

My Beloved used to have a Blog which was called "Sanity in an Upside Down World". The purpose was to open up our eyes to the craziness happening around us.

Eventually, our world became so upside down that he could spend forever writing about it.

It seems now-a-days that it is strange to have normal things happening.

2 Timothy 3

"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 to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.

Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance, persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High 
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

 

I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
 My God, in whom I trust!”

For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
 and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His pinions,
 and under His wings you may seek refuge;
 His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
 or of the arrow that flies by day;

of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
 or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side
 and ten thousand at your right hand,
 but it shall not approach you.

You will only look on with your eyes
 and see the recompense of the wicked.

For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
 even the Most High, your dwelling place.

No evil will befall you,
 nor will any plague come near your tent.

 

For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
 to guard you in all your ways.

 

They will bear you up in their hands,
 that you do not strike your foot against a stone.

 

You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
 the young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

 

“Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
 I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.

“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
 I will be with him in trouble;
 I will rescue him and honor him.

“With a long life I will satisfy him
 and let him see My salvation.”
