Here's a warning for those who do take God out of the equation...Will we recognize the coming of the Lord if we don't know His ways?
"It will come to pass in the last days," God says, "that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. Indeed, upon my servents and my handmaids I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days, and they shall prophecy. And I will work wonders in the heavens above and signs of the earth below: blood, fire, and a cloud of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of the Lord, and it shall be that everyone shall be saved who calls on the name of the Lord." Acts 2: 17-21
I don't know about you, but I don't want to miss this train! I have been blessed with the knowledge of God's existence. I have felt His presence and I know the strengthening power of His love. Now, imagine missing an eternity of that love and beauty? No one can know for sure if their lives will be pleasing to God, if our faith and our actions are enough to get us through those pearly gates, but I will not be accused of not trying. Even Paul wasn't certain of his place with God!
What can I do today to please God? What actions can I perform? What prayers can I offer? Maybe it's a start to just be aware of my actions and make them pleasing to God. Maybe that in itself will be an answer to a prayer.
