I can't keep up
Time is just flying by these days. I do not know if it's just a by-product of getting older or if time is really flying by faster than it used to. It seems to me, and to others I talk to that all of creation seems to be in a hurry these days.
We live in trying times, to be sure. We hear of wars and rumors of wars. People call that which is bad, good; that which is good, bad. We live in days that Paul wrote about and we see the signs of the times all around us. And we wait, expectantly, for Jesus to return.
The news today is distressing. Our country is facing yet another first and I'm just mindful of something our pastor said on Sunday which was, "what goes around comes around." It seems that what was wished on others has come to roost on the one who wished it. I find no joy in seeing this happen. I'm just mindful that I'd also heard this philosophy explained in another practical way by Dr. J Vernon McGee who put it this way: Chickens come home to roost.
Mine did. Yours will. It happens to all of us. And in this crazy world, where we're seeing the chickens come home to roost for taking God out of everything, one thing becomes clearer and clearer: The only way it's gonna get better from here is for God to put Himself back into everything.
Come Lord Jesus!
