The Earth and the Heavens are Being Shaken
“Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.” -Isa 55:6 (NASB)
The world is being shaken like never before; across the entire spectrum of our lives – from extreme weather to economic and social woes to a plethora of wars waging or about to be waged. We don’t even know what will come at us this very day let alone tomorrow. Our lives are hanging ever so slightly between life and death as this world is rocked and rolled. Events are changing fast with seemingly every kind of turmoil advancing.
“Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!” -Psa 105:4 (ESV)
Each day the routine seems mundane … we go here and there – some to work, to shop, to play, and then back home to eat and sleep. The next day we replay the previous day’s events and regimen. But when as Christians do we just stop and get alone with Almighty God? Especially now during these calamitous days? When do you and I sincerely seek Almighty God? With no distractions and no one else around? When do we as so-called Christians take (make) the time to seek the Lord in prayer and communication creating an ongoing relationship with Him?
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” -James 4:8 (ESV)
Friends, it’s time to quiet yourself before Him (Psa 37:7), continue in constant prayer (2 Th 5:7), meditate on His word (Psa 19:14), and let Him speak to you through His word – the Bible. Seriously and in full honesty – how many of us actually do these things? Great men and women of the Bible did and drew close to God, loved Him, and obeyed His word. Do we?
The Lord said that during the very last days, He would shake everything that couldn’t be shaken and folks it seems very plausible this is what’s occurring right now all over the place. So now more than ever it’s time to seek the Lord and worship Him in spirit and truth. Set aside the traditional church activities and get on your knees and pray! He said we should seek Him while He can be found and to call upon Him while He is near. That time is now but perhaps that door is closing even as I write this…
“I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me.” -Prov 8:17 (NASB)
Beloved, please read and heed what the Lord tells us in His word. He loves us with everlasting love but He does have limits to continued unfaithfulness and disobedience (Eze 14). He urges us to seek Him while in the body for once you pass into eternal life, as an unbeliever, you cannot redo your life choices prior to death. The Lord wants us to have a meaningful, true and sincere relationship with Him and that involves praying without ceasing, worshipping in spirit and truth, and seeking Him daily. It’s time everyone.
“But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.” -Deut 4:29 (ESV)

“Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:” -Heb 12:25-26 (KJV)
GLORY TO GOD!
