As
I observe the current conditions in our world, I am stirred in my
spirit with a renewed desire 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 this declaration of Judgment fall upon us in this late hour? It
all depends on our response to the call of Christ. Where do we stand
in obedience to the commission 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 is determined
by our response!
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. They had to make a
decision and that decision would determine their future.
Much
in the same way, I lament the state our nation and our world seeing
that mankind as a whole has refused the gift of grace in Jesus
Christ. 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 really need to be. However, we
must come to Him now in repentance and submit our will to His.
Where
Do We Go From Here? The choices and decisions we make now will
determine where we go in the coming days and the impact we will have
on the world around us. “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and
then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and
look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” John
4:35
