Where Do You Stand?

Do you feel as if the world is reeling?
Are you not sure of your footing?

²⁵The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. ²⁶But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. ²⁷The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." ( Matthew 7: 25-27 )

The majority of the people in this world have built a foundation on shifting sand.
It is most commonly referred to as economics, defined as " the social science that studies the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. "

It seems that everywhere you turn today in the developed nations of the world, businesses and financial institutions are crumbling beyond repair and headed for a total meltdown.
Guess what? They are!
God is giving the world and its inhabitants a message, dare I say a clue to what is coming.
This present condition we find ourselves in as a fallen world continues to unravel as God's time clock ticks off the precious moments we have left before the curtain rises on the final act in this play we call life.
My question to you is, are you ready?
Do you know where you stand?
Are you confident, standing upon the Rock of Ages, comforted by the arms of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ,
or are you slipping on uncertain ground?
If you are unsure, choose this day, this very moment, to give your heart to Christ.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ( John 14:6 )

Believe me when I say there is nothing more precious to Him than you.

The time we are given is precious!

The one area of stewardship that God equally distributes to His children is time. I don't mean that we are all guaranteed a set amount of years to live out our lives and figure out why we are here, I mean 24 hours/1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds in a sunrise to sunrise given day. Each one of us may do as we choose with that time and most are rather selfish with what we are given due to our nature. Less than 5% of that time do I give back to God. If I give Him lets say 15 minutes between prayer and reading the bible in a 24 hour period: 15 divided by 1,440 =.0104 / move the decimal point over two spots that gives God a whopping 1.04% in a 24 hour period of time! I don't know about you but I suck! Sorry God, you deserve better! The bible tells us the truth of the matter in Isaiah 64:

Isaiah 64:6All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

When I started this blog, my intent was to post at least once a week and I have had a hard time making a post once a month!

My main message for this post is this: Don't cheat yourself out of valuable time spent with Christ!

Make it a point to put Him first in your day. He will make it worth your while!
