What do you desire from The LORD? Money? New house? Better job? A spouse? Children? Good health? New computer? A vacation?
Last night at mid-week service, during prayer requests, two men ask for "tears for the lost!”
Do we have a heart for the lost? We pray for healing of ourselves, family members, friends but how often do we consider the spiritual state of the ones we love?
We hear about a "lost and dying” world and we think of far off places; when in actuality it may be sitting next to us at the dinner table or sleeping in the next room!
Why do we automatically assume that everyone we know is going to heaven?
I have heard estimates that say over 80% of those who attend church do not know The LORD! Are you one of those; who believe in Him but not follow Him?
Even the demons believe!
Examine your heart!
- Is He your LORD?
- Do you love Him with all of your heart, with all of your soul and all of your might? Or is He "one" of the "things" you love; like you love a good steak?
- Do you think about Him all of the time or just when you are in trouble?
- Is your god made in your own image; worshiped on your terms? Or do you obey The Word Of God?
Time is short and if you are not radical for Jesus, then you are described by Jesus Himself as lukewarm! “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV
An old song comes to mind by Bob Dylan; "Serve Somebody" says: "it may be the devil or it may be The LORD, but you gotta serve somebody!" If you are not serving God, then by default, you are serving the devil! It's black or white; no grey area, here! No room for negotiation! There will be no justifying your lack of relationship; excuses won't get it!
If you have not made Him your LORD, it is not too late! As long as you are breathing you can call on His Name, repent of your sins, and He will meet you right where you are, forgive you and make you His!
“For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.” Psalms 78:39 KJV
Heaven or hell is but a breath away!
Repent while there is still time!
Even so - MARANATHA!
