Dear God, We Want the Future Right Now!
Today it’s as if much of the modern church has essentially given up on the present. One can almost hear people saying: enough of this already! We don’t need God’s grace in Christ any more, and the Holy Spirit isn’t getting anything done. It’s curtains, right now! So you may just as well bring Christ back to us and get the glorious future earthly kingdom into Israel. But first we want you to come and rapture us away to heaven so we won’t have to hang around here any longer. Chop, chop!
Many such ones today never take any time out to stop and think about much of anything else. If they could bring themselves to go further, they might become aware of God’s real Plan A that has always been in place, but that they never gave any thought to.
God’s Plan A is the far more perfect plan for everyone, and in many ways that they have never been able to recognize or appreciate. Much of the church today would be better served if it would expand its horizons into areas of Scripture that it has given little, if any, real thought to.
It matters not how strongly human desire wants to change or rearrange God’s plans. It will not prevail, because He is the omnipotent Master, and if men do not choose to learn the easy way God has already provided, then they will end up learning the hard way, if they can even do that much. They waste precious time that is available to them, especially now, in some cases where unemployment has them stuck with extra time on their hands. What a perfect time to put to good use reading a really good book that will help them to no end in grappling with the present and the future. So, if you haven’t done so yet, then now is the time. Go to Amazon.com and into the religious, then to the Christian and inspirational books area and type in There Is A Kingdom by Anita Whalley. There you can order the one book that will stimulate your spirit as God’s refreshing breezes with a heavenly scent blow in upon it.
