“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it
says. Anyone who listens to the word but
does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and,
after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
– James 1:22-24
Do you not know that there is only one God? If your answer is yes, than what are you doing? We follow the advice of our friend and neighbor, the advice of our boss at work, the advice of our parents and spouses; but we ignore the advice and counsel from God Almighty. Do you not see that we are a society wrapped around ourselves rather than the One who created us? Are we not called by the Father to serve Him, to live for Him and His purpose, to love others as He loves them and to do good works for His glory? I ask again then, what are we doing?
I fear that we no longer live in fear of God.
You will one day stand in front of the Holy Judgment seat of God the Father. If you fail to realize or fear this, then you ought to be on your knees asking for a revelation from the One who controls your eternal destiny. Quiet your thoughts, quiet your heart, find solitude and press your knees into the surface of this earth that was created for you. Lift your hands to your maker and plead for Him to reveal His love, His purpose and His truth to you. Seek forgiveness and it shall be yours, for by His graciousness and mercy, He has chosen to allow your transgressions to be washed away.
When you reach for the Father’s presence, be aware that He will come, and there are expectations that you will be called too. You are not called to be perfectly holy, for that is impossible, but through His Son – Jesus Christ, who was perfect and holy, you are covered. You are called to accept Jesus Christ entirely. Not that He was a nice man, a prophet, a strong communicator or a holy person; but that He indeed was the Son of God, died and was resurrected as a means of redemption and salvation for your sins.
God has provided you an opportunity for a wealth of wisdom, but unless you actually pick up the book and read it how shall you ever become more aware of His presence. As you seek your purpose in this life, it will not be found in the writings of man, but in the pure words of God inscribed through His chosen servants. Read your bible to discover the God of the Universe and learn to respect and fear Him for who He is.
