As Good as it Gets?


I’ve just spend 17 hours working.   All day long I had the luxury of spending quality time with the Lord Jesus.  By the time I parked my truck I was excited to jump on the internet and see how everyone was doing.  I looked at my blog to see if anyone had parked their mouse over my gem.  A few had dropped by.  But they left no comments.  I checked the email to see what might be there.  I think I caught the butt end of an electronic spider leaving the screen.  But that was all the activity I could detect.  I went to God Rev and looked around a bit.  I found a few things of interest there that I’ll check out later.  And, finally, I clicked on face book to see what people were doing all day. 

I gotta tell ya people, it’s such a let down to see such dribble come from humans.  I don’t mean to run folks down.  But having spent such a long time with the God of truth, then to listen to what people think is important, wow!  What a radical difference.  How will it be come the day of judgment when God examines every idle word we have spoken and judges us by them?  We thought we had a handle on what’s important.  How shocking it will be for the vast majority. 

I’ve got my own troubles with holiness.  I’m not a saint, as some consider saints.  But I know where I’m going on that day.  How about you?  I mean, I don’t just believe (as hope believes) that I am saved.  The God who made me has confirmed it in my soul.  How about you?  When I think of my death, there’s an attitude of excitement.  To me, it’s a doorway into the presence of the One I love.  What about you?

I don’t judge you folks.  Frankly it wouldn’t matter a gnat’s nostril if I did.  But I can tell you a truth.  What most people think is important will surely follow them to the throne of God.  Be warned.  It will not go well with most folks.   I had so much joy I wanted to share.  But there was no one talking about the Lord.  I guess if I looked around a bit I might find the name Jesus being used.  But I’m afraid it wouldn’t be the Mighty Lord of Creation they were speaking about. 

By His Grace.
