Shouting and screaming at each other will not accomplish much, try talking to each other instead.

Reverence
The world’s society seems to uphold the irreverent, but don’t you go there. Revere God who is worthy!

7 “All he does is just and good,
and all his commandments are trustworthy.

to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.”

Changes
Everything must change. Changes bring uncertainty. Seek God for direction during these times.
Read: Daniel 2:20-22
20 He said,
“Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for he has all wisdom and power.
21 He controls the course of world events;
he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.
22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.
