What's Ahead?

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, 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?”
