Isaiah 29:13
[13] And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,”
We’re currently in the process of moving from one part of Tennessee to the other. So, we’re currently looking for a place of our own. While house hunting, we came across a home that was almost exactly what we were looking for. As my parents tour the home, they see a nice big room, and the lady explains that it’s their temple room. She further explained that in every Indian home, they have a temple room to pray and do rituals to their gods. I couldn’t believe it when I heard. Every other religion seems to have more dedicated followers than Christianity.
As Christians, we’re lazy. We take our faith for granted. We don’t even set aside a place in our room to pray, let alone set aside an entire room for prayer and worship. Hindus worship pagan gods. gods that cannot save them, yet they are dedicated to their gods. They are sold out for their gods.
We, Christians, serve the one true God. The God of gods. The KING of kings and LORD of lords. We serve the Creator of Heaven and Earth, yet we can’t even set aside time for prayer and worship. How sad of a state the Church is in. Weak. Helpless. Unable to see miracles, healings, deliverance, etc. that the Church was built on, and we have the audacity to blame God. We have the audacity to say He no longer moves in that way. No. We don’t see those things because we don’t worship. We don’t pray. We don’t dedicate ourselves to Him.
The early Church had a time of prayer when they came together to pray and worship. They met daily to read the Scriptures and grow together as a Church. They made time for God. How much time do we make for God? Do we make any time for God anymore? He should be the center of our lives, not a side piece that we go to every now and then. He’s the center of it all.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Recenter Your Home.
