How sad is this in America of how far we have drifted away from properly following and serving the Lord? Spiritually Satan has misled us into a nation of not enough time when we really do have the time, and he has caused us to react in fear because we have forgotten how to trust in the Lord. Our leaders say they care but they show a total different objective because they only do what can uplift them rather than doing their jobs and properly serving the people.  

 This same thing has even taken place in our homes and unfortunately even in the church. Have we forgotten what life is about? Have we truly forgotten God’s Word? The Lord never told us to leave someone in the ditch and to fill our own pantries with caviar while we throw a few crackers to others! The Lord never told us to only give to those that can give back in return! The Lord never told us to separate ourselves from the sinners and He especially never told us to hate good and love evil!

 Many people have come to a point of only giving time and helping those that offer something back in return. If our check is large enough or we can make someone look good in front of the people then it is no problem to buy some time for someone to listen or receive some support. Have we come to such a point in our society that we have forgotten how to truly discern between good and evil? Have we come to such a point that we have forgotten how to recognize the confirmation that we receive in our spirit when we hear the Word of God because we are so focused on what we see? 

 Life is not about us! It is about serving others and learning to trust in God rather than in man. How far do we have to fall before we return to God? Is the Word of God so faint in the people that it is time for us to go home? How long are we going to try and rely on ourselves before we learn to rely on God? Until we learn to turn from our ways and seek God for our direction this nation is only going to continue to face the Lord’s judgement for our disobedience! 

 What we have to remember is that nothing is over until God says it is over and it is our job as a true Christian to make the most out of every day that we are given to help someone else rather than ourselves! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ displayed this example all the Way to the cross and the Word of God tells us us to never give up no matter how far we fall! All it takes is a little light in the darkness to see the Way and God will give us the strength as we learn to pray…amen       

  It is when we hold back that we won’t receive what God has in store…
