FAITH CAPSULE: There is no excuse before God to become far and lost from God.
Jeremiah 50
How far are you from God?
Do you know how far you are from God that is not far from all His creation?
All should be questioning themselves to know if one is far and lost from the presence of God.
God is near to all, but the majority are far from God and do not have the rest of God.
The presence of God carries the rest of God for one that is near to Him.
How far are you from God?
To be far from God is to be lost from God.
God is mindful of all to give His beloved son for all, but the majority do not live for the glory of God not to be a lost one.
Jesus said, “…for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
The shepherds of God are in a position to lead the sheep to the presence of God, not far from God, and have the rest of God.
However, the shepherds have the role of the loss of the sheep, far from God.
Jeremiah 50:6 points out, “My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray; They have turned them away to the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; They have forgotten their resting place.”
The word points out that the Shepherds are the contributing role to be lost, but to be lost will not have an excuse for the lost ones before God.
To be lost is not living for God but shall experience the consequence of living life as the lost.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost sheep, and the sheep that seek Him will find Him to become saved.
To become wrongly led does not excuse the consequences before God.
From today, seek God to know the truth to keep you safe and not become a victim of being led wrong by the Shepherds.
Making a wrong choice is a way to become a victim of shepherds leading sheep into the track of loss.
Why not seek God diligently to find Him and not far from Him?
Have the desire not to far from God.
The Psalm of David states, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
What is your choice?
Seek God diligently not be far from God.
God is a caring God with reasonable provision for all not to be victims of one living far from God.
Do not live a life of waste.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled with the strength not to walk the walk of the lost.
