Today’s
Thought “Still Disenchanted” G. Ward
“And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save
others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating
even the garment polluted by the flesh.” Jude 1:22-23
Perhaps this
is your story also. Prior to my seeking an intimate relationship with our
Creator, I searched more for a society of believers than Holy God’s word
(Ro.10:8). Ultimately I created an excuse for the lazy behavior I adopted that
would avoid holy living. Inherently, there was a longing to adjust to HIS ways
and not my own. Moreover, my criticism of man allowed me to categorically make
my personal sins less in view of the aimless behaviors given by the many acquaintances
of that time. I never thought that in the space allotted me I could have died,
facing eternal separation from God. I allowed lack of exemplary behavior from
my countrymen to negatively impact my potential in coming to know Him as my
personal Sufficiency. I now understand that it wasn’t wasted time as some
suppose (cf. Eph.1:4), but created a better witness in me as many would be
plagued with the same (in future terms). My familiarity, as a product of this
foolish syndrome, makes me available (cf. Isa.6:8-11) to encourage them to
never allow mere mortals opportunity to resolve a reconciliation (Ro.5:8) given
every man (Ro.10:13) long ago…
Happy
Thursday!
