Times are ever a'changin'....we're embarking upon some things that we've never encountered before (and they're only getting worse by the day) and our love, affection, affinity and compassion towards one another is nil to nonexistent. And there doesn't seem to be any relief, answers, exit strategies nor contingency plans.
But GOD.
We're cutting back on the things that we need to have in our everyday lives, prices are going higher with each passing day, and the two categories that are being affected and impacted the most.....the elderly and the youth/young children. SIDE NOTE....you may be young today, but God willing, you're going to be old one day; so the things that are affecting and impacting our elderly WILL impact and affect YOU more severely than what they're being impacted TODAY. I have countless elders in my family, inner circle that I talk to constantly, so I know what I'm speaking about, as well as seeing everyday.
But GOD.
I'm seeing scenes that are very reminiscent of slavery times/days in which we're TRYING to be told that it doesn't exist....if if walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Marginalized people are being trampled upon more and more every day, along with our freedoms and liberties being subverted with each passing moment, and there isn't any concern nor compassion unless it impacts three people....me, myself and I.
But GOD.
Our children are BARELY passing high school, are ill-equipped for college, let alone life itself. WHY do you think they're wanting to get rid of the STAAR test?! They're trying to lower the standards in order for the children to be able to pass to the next grade....just ask any educator that's worth their salt, and they'll tell you. The children are also dealing with all kinds of mental issues that are at an all time high that we that are adults didn't have to contend/deal with. And let's not forget about the number of children that ARE attending school, but are homeless...
But GOD.
For most of....let me correct that....for the MAJORITY of us, we don't know that God is all we NEED until God is all that we HAVE. Let that marinate for a minute or two....you can attribute it to WHATEVER YOU want to, but I'm here to tell you that GOD is attributing it to US NOT turning to HIM and doing what HE says to do....no matter HOW MUCH PRESSURE He's applying to us and our everyday existence.
"O LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? You have struck them, but they felt no anguish; you have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to repent" (Jeremiah 5:3, ESV).
"For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel, nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you; yet, the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate" (Ezekiel 3:5-7, NASB).
Time is running out....look for your "but God" moment while He may be found...because there IS a day when He WILL go silent and you CAN'T find Him.
Now is NOT the time to be SILENT when God is DEFINITELY speaking to US trying to get our attention to CHANGE and REPENT, and tell others about HIS Good News.
