As the world knows by now of the dreadful events at Bondi in NSW, Australia on Sunday, 14 December 2025, it strikes me that there is so much chaos being unleashed in our world.

Look at what has been happening and continues to happen in Gaza. So much destruction, so much suffering and which appears to be never ending. Then look at how Russia has been attempting to take over Ukraine. And, that fight continues without resolution. In the USA there have been more shootings resulting in more death. In Africa there continues the most dreadful massacres in the Sudan, and ongoing attacks and massacre of Christians elsewhere in the continent. The list is endless.

Now we have the unleashing of a terror attack on a Jewish gathering here in Australia. The media reports endlessly, and often in gruesome detail and which sometimes feels like a deliberate stirring up of fear and anxiety.

I am currently reading Revelation. What a vivid prophetic word on what’s ahead! I don’t know what it all means but it certainly is giving a picture of the end of our time. Our present world chaos is nothing compared to what I read about in that last book of the Bible. How does the chaos in our world today and what God has revealed fit together? I don’t know. What I do know is that God is in control. None of this is a surprise to him. There is a plan and God’s purposes are and will be fulfilled.

I choose to trust Jesus in the midst of the chaos. He is my hope. He gives me peace. I rest in him.

Bless you as you read this and ponder.
