Do you remember your first encounter with God? You know the moment you realized he saved your soul from a burning hell. Do you remember how you couldn’t explain the felling, but you wanted everyone to feel what you felt? Remember how you had so much zeal for Christ, that you always prayed and read the bible.
Isn’t it strange, that when we first got saved we were excited and we always had time for God. Now that we’ve been saved a minute, we just can’t find time to pray or read the bible. Church service holds too long. We are really not feeling the pastor anymore, and don’t let me get started on the people in the church.
Just like Paul asked the Galatians, oh foolish Galatians who have bewitched you? I ask the same question. Who foolish Christians who have bewitched us, into thinking that we have arrived? Who or what has made us think that we are better than the people in the church? What makes us think that we don’t have time to spend all day in church, knowing at any given moment all of us are apt to sin. Where in the bible does it say you will always agree with your pastor or like the decisions he or she makes?
Before this year is out, we need to ask God to take us back to where we first believed. Take us back to where we were obedient to his word. Take us back to where we were not looking at everybody in the church, because we were to busy making sure our soul was right. Take us back to where we reverenced the pastor and had a reverential fear of the Lord.
God help us to remember, then Lord help us to get back on track.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
