another piece of luggage on board. What’s the big deal; what’s one more?
At some point God will intervene, he has to because he created your soul. He will make several attempts to defuse the bomb that is about to explode, but ultimately it’s your decision. The children of Israel insisted on staying in the wilderness for forty years. What could God do but let them? Only two out of almost two million people crossed over into the land of milk and honey; everyone else died in their stubbornness and hardheartedness, unwilling to make the necessary change.
If God is constantly giving you signs that it’s time to do his will for your life, you will know because your life will be without peace and joy consistently, you must heed the warning. You will not experience a moment of rest or contentment, instead a stirring of agitation to give you awareness. If you continue to disregard his beacon over a long period of time, he will turn you over to a reprobate mind and his calling will become distant and eventually cease to exist. At that point you have crossed over the line.
Long before it ever gets to that, listen for his calling and turn away from the sin. Run into his welcoming and loving arms, which are outstretched for you to surrender your woes unto him like any true father would take the responsibility of doing. Don’t cross the line for another moment. |
