Staples came out with a button that you push and it says, “That was easy.”
As Christians, especially in today’s world, need a button that says, “Because I didn’t have time Lord.”
That way when we stand in front of God and he asks us how come we didn’t do things for Him, we can push the button.
“Because I didn’t have time Lord.”
How come you didn’t take the time to go and worship me at least once a week?
Click the button. “Because I didn’t have time Lord.”
How come in your lifetime you didn’t read the bible from front to back and stay into it?
“Because I didn’t have time Lord.”
Why didn’t you take time to pray to me at night, before meals, or praise My name when I came to your mind?
Because…whoops…I guess that one doesn’t take as much time.
Psalm 34:1 – 1 I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
Do we have enough time to watch television, movies, extracurricular activities, or recreational fun?
Are we too busy trying to build an empire on this earth?
None of these explanations will be fun for anyone when it’s time to stand in front of the Lord. Yet most will be doing just that. Why? Because we have overdosed on a case of worldliness. We even justify every action.
Romans 12:1-2 – 1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
How do we break that cycle of worldliness? Get into God’s word. Not just Christian books only, because quite a few of them are pretty worldly themselves. Start listening to Christian radio and television. Be selective as many of them can get away from the Word of God. Fill your spirit, with God, not the world.
You will see God more clearly and have a better understanding of why we’re here.
