What Lies Ahead?

As I survey the current conditions in our world, my spirit is ignited with new fervor to sound the alarm and call all men to be accountable before our Creator. Many are living their lives today as if they are not accountable to anyone. However, the Bible tells us that the deeds of this life will follow us into eternity. Ecclesiastes 12:14, “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”

How does that declaration of Judgment fall upon us in this late hour? Where do we stand in obedience to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ? Are we concerned with our liturgical duties and the ritualistic process of religion? Or, are we concerned about having a real and intimate relationship with our living, loving Savior? Our future will be determined by our present state!

Jeremiah lamented the future state of Judah in Jeremiah 8:20, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” He saw through the prophetic that they would languish in sorrow as a people who had failed to reap the spring or summer harvest. God had presented them with the opportunity to repent and return to His provision but they insisted upon holding to their false gods.

Much in the same way, I lament the future state our nation and our world seeing that mankind as a whole has refused to repent and return to the Lord. What does the immediate future hold for the world, this nation, the Church and each individual? God alone knows what is ahead and only He can position us where we can be of the greatest benefit to Him.

Where am I in relation to where he wants me to be? Do I hear each “still small voice” expression and command? Or am I so easily distracted that I miss part of the message. It is expedient that we hear and receive His directive without delay. We do not have the luxury of “wasted time.” Each moment is precious as we pull lost souls out of the fire. No one is expendable.
