Rain, clouds, lightning, twisters, thunder and relentless, uproarious wind, chasing us to the cellar yet we continue to claim there is no storm.  The child’s cranium is crowned yet we must not admit that labor has arrived or be cast in worry, abandon and unavoidable reflection upon two things; our lack of preparedness and our continual conflict with the acceptance of truth.  The wars have begun, the earth begins to rumble, pagans overrun the unrepentant, pestilence, hunger and death will soon follow.  Time does not wait upon the misinformed, the unbelieving or those captured by the unconscious hands of denial.  When Monday arrives it is time to go to work whether I wish it were not so is irrelevant.  The time for the return of the Messiah is near, we all know it, whether we choose to demonstrate that belief through our actions is in direct correlation to our desire to display faith and dependence upon His Word.  A man who sees danger and seeks shelter in the Lord has seen the proof of wisdom.

I have had the presence of the Holy Spirit of God in my life for years yet I still see those areas of my life to which I have not allowed Him dominion or mastery.  Surrender continues to evade my soul and in moments when I am at my worst, I cry out for the Potter’s Hand upon this vessel.  This is the proving ground, where my dross is to be removed in advance of my audience with a Holy and Righteous Lord, in whose presence I will be completed.  That which I refuse to do or that which I am unwilling to resolve shall be counted loss and something for which I will give an accounting at the seat of my own judgment.  Yes, judgment as a Christian, for even we shall have to explain our works, our deeds or lack there of to a King who already knows them intimately.  I have been given a finite amount of time in this world to demonstrate my faith by walking in His Word of Truth.  Why then in this knowledge do I continue to squander that finite resource called time.  Time is an unbiased jailer, its walls confront us with the limitations of humanity, its controlling hand forces us to reason or denial, uncaring of which we choose.

Lord let me choose You, let me choose life abundantly.  Use this life You have given me to accomplish those things that will bring glory upon your name.  Forgive me for the uninformed, foolish or ignorant actions I continue to commit, yes commit, for this is sin against You.  I am troubled by my lack of growth and unwillingness to surrender all.  Allow me to give all to You before my time is expended, and the opportunity for work passes with the coming night of judgment.  Give me Your Blessing and Your Truth, Always.  I love you Father in the name of my Savior Jesus Christ the Lord of All.
