The Path not taken

Are you traveling a path of fear as you drive home tonight? Are you weighed heavy with worry? Are there decisions that appear to be too great to properly decide? If one were to watch the news with any regularity it would seem the news cannot get anymore negative, and yet it gets worse anyway.

What does our Messiah have to say about the path we are on versus the Path we are to take?

Luke 21:25-36 (NASB)
25 "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,
26 men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 "Then they will see The Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
29 Then He told them a parable: "Behold the fig tree and all the trees;
30 as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 "So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.
32 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.
33 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
34 "Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;
35 for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.
36 "But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Have you "recognized" yet? Are you "On guard?" Are your hearts "weighed down dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life?"

When is the last long time you prayed with and to God to lift your heart, your mission, your eyes to the Heaven to come? Have you ever asked God to allow you a momentary glimpse of Heaven, while here on Earth? Have you so hungered and thirsted after God that this world seemed to momentarily disappear? A moment of Heaven is a moment shared with God, waiting, in happy anticipation of what He is bringing for those who seek Him, those whose knees are raw in repentance and acknowledgment of just What God is.

When Jesus Christ returns every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that He is the Christ, the crucified and Risen One... and we will be taken up with Him.. It will be so fast you won't have time to rethink your current path. All those who do not confess His Name and His place will condemn themselves to another path for all of eternity.

For that path there is no government bail out plan.
