*********************************
That’s right! I thought. You’re Almighty God, Creator of the Universe, and You’re right here with me every day. You’ve put Your Holy Spirit within me to answer my every question and impart to me Your wisdom. But instead of taking the time to sit and visit with You, a lot of times I just rush right past You because I have something else to do.
I resolved right then and there to make some adjustments. I decided my time with Jesus would always be my No. 1 priority. It would always come first.
A Dangerous Time to Be Spiritually Lazy
These days, more than ever before, all of us, as believers, need to make that decision. We’re living in intense times. On one hand, God is on the move in a mighty way. He’s doing things we don’t want to miss out on. On the other hand, the devil is stepping up his operations. He’s pushing ungodly people to cross lines we never expected them to cross.
Who would have ever thought in the 21st century people would go back to crucifying Christians? Who would have ever thought we’d see beheadings posted on the Internet? Just a few years ago, such things would have been unimaginable. Yet they’re happening.
Right before our eyes, the world has sunk lower than we’ve ever seen it, and it’s not going to get any better. We can snatch some people out of it by the power of the gospel and the grace of God, but this world isn’t on the way up; it’s on the way down because these are the end times. These are the times when, as 2 Timothy 3:13 says, “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
As believers, we can’t afford to be spiritually lazy anymore. We don’t have time to lie around, get an answer or two from God here and there, and just kind of hope everything will be all right. It’s time for us to clean house, spiritually—to walk according to The WORD of God and make seeking Him and His plan for our lives a daily matter. It’s time for us to put Him first, listen constantly to the Holy Spirit, and get His direction about everything we do.
