WOKE Episode 3: Is It Not Enough?
My prayers go out to the families and friends of those who were injured or killed in the senseless attack that took place in Brussels earlier this week.
As much as I worry about the current state of the world we inhabit, I’m mostly concerned about the current state of our minds. I read a post this morning that detailed the tragedy of the bombing and it ended by saying, “It’s time to get right with Christ”.
Let it be known, I encourage everybody to build a relationship with God. But let’s be very clear: If the reason for doing so is because you’re finally paying attention to signs of the end times, you’ve missed the entire point. Is God’s abundant love not ENOUGH of a reason? Is the fact that His Holy Son took human form to bear our sins not enough of a reason? Are the great faith stories of Abraham, Moses, and Joseph not enough?
Entertain me for a minute and just look around you. If you’re reading this post, it means that you are connected online… which probably means you ate a meal today, and it’s safe to assume you have a place to sleep tonight. But you still feel like you’re not blessed because you’re “broke” and can’t afford Chipotle but you went to a college where you paid $20,000 a year. Here’s a secret: If you’re not praising God in the situation you’re currently in, you haven’t learned to humble yourself and be thankful. Is it not enough? Or do you need a house on the hills to let you know that you’re blessed an highly favored.
Signs of the end times are clear and evident to anyone who is slowing down from the busyness of life and paying attention. Alongside tragedies, the Bible also says, “In the last days men will be lovers of their own self, unthankful, discontent, and lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God (2 Timothy 3:1)
God’s continuous grace should more than enough for reason for you to decide today to get right with Christ.
Stay blessed.
