Faithless
The urgency today is real.
Foretold sirens are screaming.
That some won’t hear seems so surreal,
with such evident evil scheming
to blind man from Christ’s redeeming.
The wicked wish to erase Him,
yet God will remain all the same.
Christians? They long to destroy
them.
May God fill their faces with shame,
until nations again seek His name.
Faithless…
for all the hatred you spew,
unbelief doesn’t make untrue.

Lately,
I have been feeling very blessed and immensely thankful to the Lord. For the
second time in my life, a medical condition has been caught in the “pre-stage”
condition, the “you still have time to change things” phase. God has allowed
the siren to go off before the catastrophe, now it is up to me to take the
necessary actions to alter my fate. I can change, or ignore the warning and remain
on the path that leads to destruction. The choice is mine and no one else’s. No
one can do it for me – only me.
What
does all this have to do with the poem above? The world is in a “pre-stage”
condition as well, pre-the return of Christ. God is sounding the sirens all
around us, but how many will hear? There is still time to change, but each must
choose for themselves. We can witness. We can pray. We can lead to the Lord,
but only the individual can make the choice whether to follow or to flee;
whether to embrace salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, or snub Him.
In the
old, country church I attended as a teenager, almost every service was ended
with the hymn, “Softly and Tenderly.” I hear the song playing in my mind today,
“Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me. See, on the portals He's
waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.”
The end time alarms are sounding all around
us. At the same time, the call of Christ is going out as well. God says, “It’s
not too late…yet.” He longs for each to come to Him so they may know His love
and receive salvation. God has provided warnings of the world’s pre-condition. Who
will hear and make the needed changes in their lives? Have you answered the
call of Christ? If not, won’t you answer it today… or walk away?

My Savior and Lord, I thank You for rescuing me - heart, soul, body and spirit. You are my Creator. I am Your vessel. I praise You for my healing and for the work You have yet for me to do. I pray that You open the eyes of those too sick in sin to see, before they have no more time to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. May Your will be done today and always. ~ Amen
