Are we having troubled times, bad days,etc? Ever wonder why difficult circumstances arrive in your life? We say, what am I doing to deserve this? I'm a good person ! Have you noticed when things are going well how little time we spend in prayer, reading the bible, or just meditating on Gods word? Think about the Jewish people of old. Numerous times ,they put God on the back burner & when they did , he always allowed them to be led into captivity and enslaved in a foreign land. God lifted his hedge of protection from them and allowed them to endure troubled times,until they cried out in repentance for their negligence's with their relationship with God.They had chosen idol worship and pagan rituals.. Now we too, have idol worship. Hollywood, money, power, personal recognition" Look at me see what I have accomplished! We have nothing and are nothing except by the grace of God!
America was founded on the principals laid down for us by the word of God in the holy Bible. The very place our country's founders dedicated this country to God , is the exact place where 9 /11 occurred! Is God lifting his hedge of protection from this nation ? Have we turned away from God by allowing abortion, gays to marry, Greed, and corruption in our government to mention a few. Its something to ponder. The Bible teaches that we as Christians must live by the principals taught in the Bible. Are we doing that ? In Isaiah Ch 13 V 11 Its states I will punish the world for its evil , the wicked for their sins . I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless: That's the bad news. The Good news is the true believer in Jesus for the redemption of their sins ,will have a hope that those that indulge in the worlds folly don't have ! Sad to say , the ones that refuse to acknowledge Jesus sacrifice for their sins & except him as personal savior for their lives will be eternally lost, and eternity is a long time!
Time is coming to a close . Jesus return is at the door . Where do you stand? Have you cleaned out the closet of your heart ? This is the time of total commitment. Not a lukewarm walk with God that finds us running to the cross when things in our life gets bad. Rev 3 Ch 16 states so because you are lukewarm-neither hot or cold I'm about to spit you out of my mouth.
Rev Ch 3 V 19 says those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and repent. Here I am ,I stand at the door and knock .
Eternity is a long time, the spirit and soul never dies where you spend it , depends on You!
