LIVE AT 66 - FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!  Have you ever wondered what that means?  I have, but for some reason never thought a LOT about it.  It quoted a lot, and with different connotations and different subjects.

This about this for a minute.  You are working in a job, maybe you like it a lot, or maybe not so much, and you just go in do your job and go home, and repeat the next day.  ONE day, you are just talking to one of your co-workers and out of the blue you have a chance to relay to them Gods LOVE to them.  FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!  There are many other thoughts I could put with this, but if you are a Christian, one of our DUTIES as a Christian is to spread the word of God.  We are to show Gods love to others in everything we do.  That means we should be showing it to strangers, friends, FAMILY, and guess what, I fail at this daily.

What about your neighbors?  YEAH, I know Ive got some like that too.  Irritating, hard to even talk to, REALLY hard to even think about LIKING, much less loving, but in thinking about this, we really dont have a choice.  The Bible tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves.  WOW as Im sitting here writing this, its all hitting me like a ton of bricks.  WHY?  BECAUSE TOO MANY TIMES I DO NOT ACT LIKE THE CHRISTIAN I CLAIM TO BE.   FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!

How many times have you had a friend tell you something like "they had lost a job", or "they were not feeling well", or any number of things, and replied, I'll PRAY for you!  And didn't!  We all get busy, we forget, life is hard, we have our own problems, you name it, BUT you SAID you would pray, did you?  FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!

I guess what Im trying to get across in this blog, is that THIS is the TIME.  TIME is growing short in this world.  If you look at the landscape of the world today, it can be a bit frightening.  We have people calling wrong right, and right wrong, we are seeing things happen in this world that I never dreamed I would see in my lifetime.  Abortion is evil, and yet people scream that its their right, its not a RIGHT to murder.  THIS is the TIME to stand up for JESUS!  THIS is the TIME to draw your line in the sand and STAND.  When you have done all to STAND, S T A N D!!!
