Priorities
The Bible says, “To
whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken:
behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD;
I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for
even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. And their houses shall be
turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of
the land, saith the LORD. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness;
and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter
of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that
I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the
old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will
not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:10-16 (KJV)
Surprised to see an empty seat
at the Super Bowl stadium, a diehard fan remarked about it to a woman sitting nearby. “It was my husband’s,”
the woman explained, “But he died.” “I’m very sorry,” said the man. “Yet I’m really
surprised that another relative, or friend, didn’t jump at the chance to take the seat reserved for him.”
“Beats me,” she said. “They all insisted on going to the funeral.”
Sounds very much like our upside-down world! Such a stiff-necked world needs Jesus before He returns
or before they draw their last breath!
