Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
It is worthy of note that as the rise of instability increases, there is also a corresponding rise of a flurry of business activity. And because of this, we are to be very careful lest we get sucked in to that mindset which places our temporal interests first, and God second. There is work in God’s kingdom for everyone to do.
Not all are called to preach or teach, for some are given other gifts whereby the kingdom of God and His righteousness can be advanced in our sphere of influence. In other words, there are homeless people to be sheltered, there are hungry mouths to feed, there are sick and dying persons who are to be given the opportunity of knowing that Jesus still saves.
Let not it be said that there is nothing for us to do, because we are all called to serve in one capacity or another. Therefore, we’ll end with two passages of scripture which remind, and encourage us to do our part, in lieu of the times in which we now live. And if we were to ask God He would show us ways and means whereby the gospel commission can be applied and implemented in our interaction with our fellowmen.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
