For those waiting to accept Jesus until He is physically standing in front of you, unfortunately for you that time will come but it will be to administer justice against those who have risen against Him. The fact that you are waiting for that proof will undoubtedly and regrettably include you in that remainder of people deserving of His Wrath and Judgment. Failure to decide has always been ground for a decision in this world.  If you fail to help your child when choking, you have made a choice. Failure to leave the seen of a crime makes you legal accomplice to that crime. What then is your defense for not taking God’s current offer of Forgiveness, Mercy, Cleansing and Escape of His Wrath? You are not choosing by choice to not choose for whatever reason that is the one unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. In turning down God’s offer of the seal and indwelling of His Spirit you are blaspheming that offer of Grace. So if you are waiting for God to show up in order to believe, you will get that wish but it will not turn out well for you at that meeting.

I get it that you want to taste of life on your own as in any adolescent. You want to be free to make your own decisions and enjoy your life on your own two feet, pursuing your dreams free from the burden of answering to elders.  How is that working for you? Last time I checked’ you have a boss you don’t like, a wife you cannot stand being around because she constantly nags and kids who can’t stand being around you because you always pursue your goals and desires and not theirs. You don’t have the money you wanted, the dreams you wanted and you are stuck listening to a bunch of people tell you how to live your life. Or there’s your Brother, who has nothing, does nothing, believes in nothing but eats when he wants, sleeps when and where he wants and drinks all day because that what he wants to do. Last time I checked you thought he was a fool.  He thinks the same of you.

The greatest mistake in our thinking is that the God who created us for a purpose and loves us dearly enough to send His son to die that we might be saved and redeemed to Him, doesn’t have the best plans, the best intentions and the greatest understanding of the absolute best road for us to travel through this life. Can we stop being so frail, so palsied in our understanding, so ill equipped to make sensible decisions that we see the truth and the wonder in the preceding statement. God made me. God knows what I was made for. God has the power to make whatever He wants happen in my life, including miracles that lead me to joy. How can I do a better job at running this life by exercising my poorly considered decisions, based upon partial information when all I can think about is when my belly is next filled?

If you are waiting one more day to make decision about Christ, remember that one day you will waiting a day that is the Last One. What if this is that Last Day? If you knew that it was tonight you would be on your knees right now begging Him for forgiveness. Or maybe you would just let it pass and accept it as fate that you have been included with this wicked world and the fallen. I don’t know your heart, but HE Does. That is why there is no excuse because choose or not choose you will get exactly what you are seeking by a perfect judge who Knows YOUR heart. I pray that your heart is clean and that you choose Life everlasting in Jesus Christ today. However, it is your choice to make unless you don’t choose then it will be made for you. I don’t have the authority to make that choice or the subsequent judgment but HE DOES>

In Jesus’ Name I pray for you today.
