When?

The very first words spoken by Jesus in the book of Revelation (Rev. 1:8) details his power and ability. Neither are limited by time. "I am the Alpha and Omega....the beginning and the end." Time was a canvas created by God in which to interact with mankind, His creation. The greatest invader of time was the creator of time itself. He was killed on a cross, but His power and ability superseded and was not bound by time, as he rose from the dead and ascended back to heaven, a place not bound by time.

What does this have to do with us?
Coming to realize that the one we worship looks for us to not be bound by the constraints of time. To walk in peace and patience fully aware and assured that His plans for us are in place. That His Holy Spirit is not held back or stopped by the events or situations of the day. God is not limited by the failure of the United States Government. He is not swayed by the collapse of the economic system of the world. Even now, there is a re-examination of all the church that is going through tough economic times. The church is being tested and shown exactly where their faith and trust is located and who it is they have been worshipping and serving. The love for God has shifted to the love of blessings from God. In other words, conditional love. We have been caught up in the emotion and hoopla of this promise of wealth and have not sought out God through His word. We have allowed our hearts to be taken by a false allegiance to the things of this world and not to the giver of all good things.
Who do you serve today?

God on you.......
