Socially Distanced From The Door To Heaven?

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For  everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2:15-17

This shut in time and mandatory shelter in place for many has helped them get projects done, clean clutter, and ponder life in general. For those who never had a relationship with Jesus before either it has drawn them closer to thinking about it or created an angry divide.

No one could have fathomed this era of our lifetime except the Almighty. Perhaps He is using it to get your attention, ever think about that? None of this took God by surprise. Everything you thought you could control you really couldn’t and hopefully you are able to admit that.

There is more to knowing God than knowing ‘about’ him like from Sunday school, confirmation classes, or other forms of ‘religious’ practices. Revival in your heart is what is needed. Maybe that will mean breaking away from what you are used to like denominational adoration more than Jesus adoration. It is my prayer during this time of stillness you can truly be still and think about what God may be trying to accomplish during this time.

PRAYER: Lord God there was a time I was an ‘infant’ and thought I knew  you but really I had only a denominational knowledge and no real passion. I pray for people during this time of confinement at home to ponder what it means to love God and seek Him with their whole heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
