Our lives can be stressful. We have tight schedules and it seems like there is always something that needs to be done. Sometimes it seems like we have little quiet time. Our lives are noisy to say the least. I was thinking about how busy people are these days. They run from one activity to another and they never seem to take notice of other people around them.
I said, "Hello." to a new co-worker today at the grocery store where I work and I got in response was just a weird look as if I said something completely foreign to this individual. I have had that happen to me a lot. Maybe I am just not talking loud enough or maybe they are not used to communicating without a cellular device or something. I just kept walking and thinking it was kind of rude not to get a response, but it doesn't really surprise me in this day and age.
It makes me rather sad in a way the way people act. There is definitely wrong with this world these days. Many people have become so self absorbed and have no room for others in their lives.
This is what happens when a society tries to move away from God and His principles that are laid out in the Bible. We shouldn't be surprised at all the trouble coming upon our increasingly godless society because they have distance themselves from the true living God.
The further a society moves away from God the more wicked and evil that society will become. What truly scares me is the question, what comes next? When we think things can't possible get any worse we must brace ourselves because it most definitely will as the world continues to pull away from the true living God.
We believers in Jesus Christ need to be in prayer and reading our Bibles and sharing the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those around us. Many people won't listen, but that shouldn't mean we shouldn't tell them the truth about Jesus. This world desperately needs the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only hope for this world of ours. It is time to stop pointing fingers and complaining that the Church hasn't done enough in the past. We can't go back to the past, but we can do something now while there is still time.
The Lord Jesus is coming back to this world One Day and He will judge the living and the dead. We will have to give an account for our lives. We need to have received forgiveness of our sins by trusting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior by placing our faith in Him and in His finished work on the Cross. People need to hear the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Their eternity is at stake.
Do we care enough to tell them about Jesus?
Lord,
I pray for patience when dealing with others when they are rude.
Forgive me when I come off as rude.
Lead me to the place You want me.
Send workers out into You Harvest Field.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
