May I speak from the heart for just a couple of minutes? From the beginning of time man has always found a way to excuse themselves from being held accountable for their own actions. Some will read this and say that they know this doesn't include them cause they and God are real tight. It is easier to look elsewhere towards someone else even when you know God is dealing with you about it all along. God knows the beginning from the end so why do we act like we can work something out without God? Sometimes I could just imagine myself listening to Adam and Eve as they spoke to the Lord in the Garden of Eden as to why they disobeyed God. As you read the scripture in Genesis, you can tell that as long as the Lord Himself was speaking, everyone listened to him. They knew that He was God Who had created them, so they reverenced His Presence and His Words. As I have said before, Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the Serpent, and the Serpent ended up not having a leg to stand on. God's purpose for man was interrupted because man jumped ahead of Gods purpose to please his own curiosity.
After nearly six thousand years, man is still doing the same blame game with an acception that they don't give much heed (if any) to God's presence or what God says. People have convinced themselves that they are okay with God and they won't take long at asking you to look so they can prove it to you.
As I look back over the years, (before I got saved), it was easy for me to look good to others while all along I was lost, yet, God knew my sin. I'm so thankful for the day that God showed me my lost condition. In my heart I had to get lost before God before God could do anything with me. Yes, I had to realize I WAS lost before I could even get saved.
My friend, where is your heart right now before a Holy God? When I stand before God one day, it won't be my brother or my sister or my momma or my daddy or any other excuse I can come up with but it will be ME. If you stand in need of a touch from the Lord Jesus today then drop the baggage that holding you back and let Him make it right. I've yet to see God fail at making something that was seemingly an ugly situation beutiful again.
God does all things well and I'm sure glad I'm saved and belong to Him. Love you till the next time and may God bless.
