Lately…I am praying, worshiping, reading, crying, writing, dancing, rejoicing, waiting, anticipating, singing, laughing, resting, eating, and living freely…
What are we doing and where are we going? What’s ahead and what are we leaving behind, moving forward?
Been meditating on the Book of Ecclesiastes and every other verse written so very long ago still proves true in today’s culture. How everything appears meaningless. Humans “chasing the wind.”
How can a species continually moving with great intelligence, non-stop momentum, creating, advancing and multiplying…yet still…repeating the same transgressions from ancient of days?
Every kind of entertainment at our fingertips, obsessive wealth and power and…in the same lifecycle, increased poverty and “off the charts” mental health consumers going unnoticed. Not to mention the human trafficking that goes unspoken.
I know the answer to these internal questions as the earth is forced to co-mingle with an untold number of people groups and man-made religions.
Mixed and misplaced emotions, everyone’s opinion, the haves and the have-nots, and the laws of man changing by the day.
What will become of us? You? Me? Our children and children’s children? What will be our legacy? Our ending?
HE has given us life and He knows and holds the ending! But what shall we do with the middle? The “dash” as some have come to call it?
How long will we go on sinning and being rebellious? How long will we ignore the elephant in the room? How can anyone in their right mind not see that this world is terribly broken?
In “this world” there is no such thing as a safe place. A place where the rich can escape the evil. A place where the vulnerable can immediately run to.
With a pleather of self help books, search engines, counseling and therapy sessions; as well as likeminded support groups…sin has not ceased to exist.
But history somehow keeps repeating itself. Failures, fears, fall outs and frustration. The foundations are crumbling. All this that the flesh competes with is faulty.
All outweighing the human soul when the crystal clear answer is faith…in Him. What astounds me is that the offer on the table is free and available to everyone. Whosoever will…come!
Why in God’s green earth do we want everything accept the very thing that can save our souls and give us the peace we are desperately seeking?
Lately; these are my thoughts…and as of late, I’ve come to understand that I can only choose for myself and pray for everyone else!
Repent, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that you and your household might be saved! ✝️
(The Living Bible) It is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals. For you are going to die, and it is good to think about it while there is still time. Ecclesiastes 7:2
Where were you spend eternity?
