HOW OFTEN DO YOU ALLOW SLUGGISH ASPIRATIONS TO CALL?

Did you ever notice than an entire book in the Bible is called THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. Not the dreams of the Apostles. Not the sluggish aspirations of the Apostles. But the actions of the Apostles.

How near is your God? As close as you want Him to be.

In the book of Ezekiel I can read, “I was hot and indignant for the hands of the Eternal pressed hard upon me.”

In the book of Revelation I can read, “Because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.”

What have you written in your own private personal history book, that recording of all you have said and done? “I was on fire for the Lord.” “I was lukewarm.” “I was both.”

All of us, unfortunately, have been both.

There is a perfect admonition in the book of John. An antidote for spiritual laziness. It reads, “Let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”

One day, the throne of God will be no more than a few last heartbeats away. One day, God will go over your books and check out how often you pulled Him toward you in prayer and how often you pushed Him away.

A loving, kind, gracious and forgiving God? Ah, yes.

A Lord who cried down from the cross, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Ah, yes. Amen and amen.

But still “…until a man finds God and is found by God he begins at no beginning and works to no end. Is lost and after awhile doesn’t even know it.” (H. G. Wells)
