For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. – 1 Corinthians 14:33
Confusion is growing in the world. The devil uses it as an effective tool to entrap the souls of humankind. An example is how young children are being led to question their gender as well as their parents’ right to have them take out the trash. This unstable perspective cultivates a deep-seated sense of chaos ruling their hearts and minds. As people accept the removal of natural boundaries set by the Creator’s design, worship turns toward idolatry, families crumble, and the world spins in turmoil.
The Son of God came to Earth to right the upside-down world, providing clarity for the confused, and healing those with diseases. He is still the only One who can restore the anguished soul and raise up the downtrodden. The hope Jesus offers is the antidote to self-will, which only compounds the confusion. The door that holds people captive to uncertainty flies wide open when they follow God’s path to salvation.
The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, beckons, “Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Revelation 22:17). Faith in Christ sets the captive free to know the peace of God: “The Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).
Pray for the citizens and public officials in America who are experiencing the captivity of sin, chaos, and confusion. Ask that many will accept salvation through Jesus Christ, be delivered from chaos, and find peace with God.

38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
41 “‘Look, you scoffers,
be astounded and perish;
for I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you will not believe, even if one tells it to you.’”
42 As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. 43 And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
