Great morning! How are we faithing? It is time to stop fretting over ourselves. All this is not about you...or me. Our Savior Jesus is what matters. We had better start paying attention to what the Word tells us and less on CNN,FOX and the AP. There are prophecies in the old testament that have and are coming true. Ezekiel spoke of future events and one that comes to mind is the land of Israel being desolate with the ground not yielding anything of value. Mark Twain even stated back in the 1800's after a visit to the land of it's utter waste and how nothing was growing other than weeds. Then after 1948 when it became Israel, it started producing and now it supplies Europe with food. You think we are not in the last days? Only a blind heart hardened person could deny this truth. Yes we work and plan for the future but we had better be ready to show the lost, Jesus. Nor church, not denomination but the savior. I am convinced daily of how I fall short and need a savior. Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun so why are we scratching and digging to do what evaporates eventually? We get butthurt over things that effect our comfort or our view on "how" rather than who? Silly when we think of the people dying without Jesus. They go to hell because we are inconvenienced? I can't let that happen in my field of view...how about you?
Joh 3:17-21
Because God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son. And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil. Everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his actions may not be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may become evident that his actions have God's approval."
Mat 9:12-13
When Jesus heard that, he said, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick people do. Go and learn what this means: 'I want mercy and not sacrifice,' because I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."
Heavenly Father,
Give us a heart and desire to show your grace to a lost world. Let us not get distracted by sin but address the sinner. Lord we ask forgiveness when we get haughty and ask for courage to speak boldly to the people dying in this world. Grant us resources to reach out for the needs around. Lord thank you for your love and peace that is bigger than our temporary woes as humans. Lord, open our eyes with wisdom to speak and act holy. In Jesus name, amen
