Why The "Panicking Christian"?

Like most Christians, I occasionally find myself in a borderline, all out panic about something which I already knew, but seem to have forgotten or that I only knew in my head, as opposed to my heart. And mercifully, God decides to show me what is really going on or what it is that I needed to know, before I completely lose my mind.

So the writing within is just that. It is that which God has shown and taught me while I was typically in one of those times in my life. Since the way in which He has chosen to reveal things to me tend to be fairly easy to follow and understand, I am sharing them via this format. That said, I take no glory for any of this. It is God whom has given me the ability to write, and it is He who has given me the content to write as well and He who saved me by His glorious grace in the first place.

Building Rights

"This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you! You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!" ~ Haggai 1:5-6

"You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses" ~ Haggai 1:9

"Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself" ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19

Are there things which you have been ignoring?  Are there behaviors and habits which you continue in even though you know God wants you to address them?  Are there things which you know that God wants you to do, or stop doing, and yet you try to ignore Him because doing so may interfere with what you want?  Have you been spending most of your time and energy on "your own house" and as little as possible on "His house"?

“Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts" ~ Hebrews 3:15

Why would you wait?  Why would you choose to suffer any longer or, worse yet, see just how far you can "push your luck" with the Lord God Almighty?

"For God says, At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation." ~ 2 Corinthians 6:2
