Good morning
Zebras,
When my kids
were little we went to see “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” If you haven’t seen the movie it starts with
happy elves frocking in the forest and then the announcer says something like:
if this is what you came to see you need to go to a different movie.
That’s how I’m
feeling today: If you came to read something light and fluffy guaranteed to
make you feel better about yourself you probably need to go to a different site
because that isn’t the message God is giving me today.
If you don’t
live in California, you might not be aware of the weather situation out
here. After multiple years of drought
conditions the rain we have been praying for has finally come and we seem woefully
unprepared, unlike Noah we did not build “an ark” to survive the storm.
Noah is such an inspiration to keep doing the “crazy things” God tells us do. But you have to wonder, as Noah was building that ark, did he have any idea how bad it was going to get? I know God told Noah He was going to wipe everyone out:
Genesis 7:4 For
in seven days I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and
every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the
ground.
But I can’t
help thinking the flood was way worse than Noah imagined it was going to be.
For everyone
who prays for Jesus’ return do you ever think about what that is really going to
look like? Do you think we are prepared?
For the longest
time, Matthew was my favorite Gospel.
Then all of a sudden I couldn’t read it anymore. Everything in there seemed
to be about living full out for Jesus Christ and/or being prepared for Christ’s
return. Both subjects would make me sick to my stomach.
It was odd, my
favorite Gospel went to being my least favorite in a blink of an eye. I’m guessing it was because God finally made
the words “real.”
I love you
little Zebras, that’s why I’m saying this. God’s people need to quit playing
around and trying to walk a middle line that does not exist. We cannot stick
our heads in the sand and think that lukewarm is good enough-not if we want to
withstand what is coming.
Love,
Jill
