Jeremiah
8:20, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.”
Jeremiah
lamented the future state of Judah, seeing 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 state of our nation and our world. 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 just ahead and only He can position us where we really need
to be.
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 don’t have the luxury of “wasted time.” Each moment is precious as we pull
lost souls out of the fire. No one is expendable.
Matt. 16:26, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
