SIGNS OF THE TIMES

April 19

Psalms 119:126-128 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

Two ways man uses to void the Law of God:
1) He attacks the authenticity of the Word so one won’t feel accountable to it.
2) He makes ungodly living fashionable, and gives a bad connotation to wholesome living.

We live in a time when a man is no more a man; when a woman is no more a woman; when a child play adult games, and when adults behave like children.

We live in a time when feelings have replaced facts; form has replaced faith; when “saying it’ is as good as “being it”, and when appearances are as good as reality.

We live in a time when if one dares to speak the truth he is a ‘fanatic’, when falsehood is only a ‘matter of personal opinion’.

We live in a time when children teach their parents the ways of the world, because parents are afraid to teach their children the ways of God.

We live in a time when ‘bad’ means good, and good means ‘old-fashioned’.

We live in a time when the people of God see these things. They have been een delivered from the Egyptian Pharaoh who kept them in the captivity of their sin (Exodus 12), but they have now succumbed to the serpents that resulted from their fearful murmuring (Numbers 21:5-7). They fell to lust and paid the fateful price of hiding an “Achan’s wedge” of materialism within their “tent” (Joshua 7), Therefore they are weak. Only when they will look fully again upon their Savior lifted upon the wood (Numbers 21:9), and clean themselves from the unclean loot, (2 Corinthians 6:17), will they be re-strengthened.

It is time, yes, now it is time, O Lord to fight for us, to work. Open the eyes of our hearts and of our spirits that we may see and understand the unadulterated truth of Your Word, that we may love Thy commandments above gold, esteem thy precepts concerning all things, and hate every false way.

John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
