If the headlines in today's news tempt you to be fearful, Dan and Gresh advises

keep the big picture in mind.

Whatever happens here on this earth, whatever hardships we endure, we do have heaven to look

forward to.

We do have the second coming of Jesus to look forward to.

We do have an ultimate hope that trumps everything else on the earth.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast for September 30, 2020.

I'm Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth.

Dana, I know that the history of the world is filled with crises,

but does it seem to you like the headlines these days just are one crisis on top of another? I mean, the pandemic, politics here in the United States, even the weather. The weather, which is usually

the safe topic, but it's not these days. You know, I've been heartbroken as people have been

asking for prayer as hurricanes have hit their cities or as there have been wildfires

sweeping through their state. And even in Iowa, where much of the nation's

corn crop grows, there was this unusual inland hurricane that devastated a very big portion of our

nation's corn crop for the 2020 season. Yeah, it seems like one thing upon another in an unusual way.

And these aren't just weather patterns and natural disasters and crop failures that are

impacting our natural resources, but they're impacting people's hearts. People are hurting

and then need practical help and prayer in this season. And as you've been teaching through the book of Habakkuk over these last days,

we realized that he was also a man who lived in a time when the world was very broken.

And there were many horrendous headlines in view.

And yet, in the middle of a horrible world climate, he experienced revival.

And we can too.
