Standing on a hill while throngs of people jockeyed for a better seat, a clearer view of the Lord Jesus as He explained the mysteries of the universe.  Not some visiting dignitary or scientist giving a lecture on “how to make a million dollars” or “self help spirituality”  but delivering the guide book for abundant life and eternity.  Did you ever wonder how these people were able to document history with no pen and paper?  How they were able to remember and recant the parables, predictions and directives of which The Lord spoke.  They lived in different times when people were interdependent, a time when they listened closely so as not to forget any of the presented oral arguments.  A time when God walked the earth and those who knew realized the Glory of the moments they spent with Him.  Many of them, incorrectly believed that He would amass a powerful army to free Israel from repeated bondage to Pagan Empires, but they hungered to hear and see what He would deliver.  Do we?

Do you have an internal thirst, a hunger that cannot be filled except by the Word?  Is there a passion which may only be quenched by the voice of a Biblical pastor or by reading and meditating over Psalms and Proverbs?  Do you go to work each day with a song of God in your heart that threatens to break out from your lips among the lost?  Come on, take a look at it, not to beat yourself up and do the work of the enemy through accusation, but that which remains to be surrendered to the Lord in prayers of repentance.  As the time of the Lord’s return rapidly approaches, at which time we will have to give an accounting of our lives, is it not appropriate to begin to take stock of our history?  I recommend repentance now versus regret later.  Thirst for the Word, live for the Lord now in victory and joy.

Jesus is Coming at the sound of a mighty trumpet and then again upon a white horse for Judgment.  We are to be mindful of His coming in preparation and prayer.  We either are or we aren’t.  Seek and speak the truth, always, for it is Christ we represent.  God be praised in all the we do.  I pray this day for your deliverance from anything which holds you captive to the works, philosophies or promises of this world to be set free to your real life in Christ.  In Jesus’ name we walk this day carrying the news of the Light.  Amen.
