I once lent someone a presentation,
Our condition as human beings is very sad, not because God is not for us, but because somehow most persons refuse to understand what is most important.
The person whom i lent that presentation said “... sorry I did not have the luxury of watching it, because of work demands.”
I sort of understand that the times we live in demands much from us towards the material direction (physical needs). Nevertheless, it is amazing how people have allowed these things to lock them up into the material perspective. People often have time for fun and for attending a weekly religious service but no desire/time for seriously seeking the God of the Jewish Scripture (Old and New Testament).
Time; how are we using the times God is kindly granting us? We better be wise, but for the wise, such a person understands that drastic measures must be exerted because we live in drastic days; days that will absolutely not allow us to seek our Creator's wisdom and love, talkless of being committed to Him.
People say they don't have “the luxury” (time) for digging into the issues that concern the God of the Jewish Scripture (Old and New Testament). But from Heaven's perspective, Heaven does not consider time spent on such issues as “luxury”. To those who belong to God, time for diligent study of the things that concern the King of Heaven is a must, not a luxury but an absolute dire need, like daily food and water, like the need for light for the eyes.
Those who have passed away from this life into an eternity of trouble with the Holy Judge forever wish they could reverse the whole thing and use their earthly time only for understanding and making peace with God alone. They wasted the time that God granted them. Great regrets forever!
Look at how Heaven thinks of time and how it ought to be used:
Ephesians 5:15-17 “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Deuteronomy 6:6-9 “These Words which I [YAH] command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates [and walls].”
Jesus (Yah’Shua) said, “Where ever your treasure is, that’s where your heart will be also.” Let Heaven be your all-consuming treasure. But that can never happen unless you understand and surrender to the only Good News in Heaven which has been magnified on this earth.
