SOME DAYS SEEM OPEN FOR SIMPLE MEDITATION AND PRAYER. Isa. 30:7 reads:"Their strength is to sit still." YET, TOO OFTEN WE GO WITH A MOOD RATHER THAN SEEKING GOD'S SPIRIT TO GUIDE/GIVE US HIS BURDEN FOR MINISTRY/LIFE. WE CAN GIVE OURSELVES TO life in Christ or to a life in ourselves and the world's/Satan's control. Those who follow the world will find themselves missing the mark of Christ and God and, therefore, guilty of sin and rebellion against God's will and law.

Guilty, found guilty! Adam and Eve were found guilty by God's just judgment, fully guilty (Genesis 3). They had violated God's commanding Word: thou shalt not!!! Exodus 20 gives the revelation of the ten commandments. But these were not the first commandment; that was in Genesis chapter two, verse seventeen: "...but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die (NIV)." They were guilty because they had violated God's trust and Word.

Have you violated God's commanding Word: thou shalt not: kill, steal, covet, lie...; or thou shalt love God with all thy heart, soul...(Deuteronomy 6:4); or thou shalt love thy neighbor ...(Mark 12:28-34)? Because of the sinfulness of heart all stand guilty for sin that proceeds from our heart of lust. And, we will be judged by our own words (Matthew 12:37), by the Word of God (John 12:48) and the infallible "Book of Life" (Revelation 20;15).

God's judgment is totally JUST and comes because of sin/wickedness, disobedience/rebellion, or missing the mark. Every Christian must stand at the tribunal (bema) of Christ (Romans 14:10,11). The unsaved will be judged at the great white throne (Rev. 20:11f).

The most precious, valuable thing given to us by our Lord is our present moment. Our God, the Lord of time and eternity, wills that we seek His face and blessing as we spend our time for Him. He has a plan for our lives as Christians and it includes everything of our life. So, our total life needs to be spent serving by/with His love (agape) in our hearts/lives. We are commanded to love those around us and seek to help them find the Lord's will for their lives (First John).

If your life is not filled with His great love, it is void of real living. Efforts for personal achievement, at the expense of serving our Lord with the time He has given to us, will not receive His blessing and will be judged as worthless for time and eternity.
