Its the first of July today, the 1st of many 1sts, the beginning of the 2nd half of the year, and as I observed my quiet time today and reflected on everything that had been happening both intrinsic and extrinsic, I could not help but think of the death of the holiday makers in Tunisia, for all I care, it could have been me chilling on that beach, the constant killings in cold blood, high death tolls, I will remind you if you have forgotten of the uncountable number of migrants trying to escape from North Africa, Libya etc who had their ships/boats capsized, the ruthless killings carried out by ISIS et al, the confusion of world leaders, the dwindling economy not just for developing or underdeveloped nations but the whole world as a whole, the redefinition of morality by the society we live in, the failure of the church to seek that which is essential, but rather pursue"mega places of worship", fame ,fortune and importance, the redefinition of marriage by individuals who were not at the genesis of it...... It all points to one thing.... We are in the last days,Mt 24;6-14( 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.) take heed how you live, what you listen to, what you believe, what forms your opinion. Because the clock is ticking..... the time is short, the devil is on a rampage, you might not have a second chance, life is ephemeral and regardless of what you believe..... We must all stand to give account of the way we lived the life given to us..... 2Cor5;10(For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.).
May God help us run the race with understanding, that is, if you are in the race at all. If you stopped, please continue, running on the wrong track? make amends, not running at all? There's still time if you are reading this. Tomorrow is not guaranteed......
