Beware of the Spiritual Decay

"In those days there was no king in Israel, everyone did whatever seemed right to him."     

                                                                                                 Judges 17:6   NKJV

Having a life without God is rather like, being on a ship with no captain. Pretty soon things are going to go wrong and the ship will sink. There was no king in Israel at this time and therefore, no divine model to follow. Everyone did whatever they wanted to do, despite being right or wrong. There didn't appear to be any rules, boundaries or values. It was an 'anything goes', situation.

This always causes problems because everyone thinks they are right and know the best way to go. Arguments and fights can then break out, together with a great state of sin in the place. It is the hallmark of a people who have forgotten God.

I read some posts recently on a media platform and the subject was about Jesus Christ, 'Was He real or a fake?' The comments from people were unbelievable; some were denying Jesus ever existed, others were blaspheming Him. I couldn't resist commenting and wrote, 'Whether you believe in Jesus or not, or whether He is just a fairy tale as you say, the fact is, one day you will meet Him whether you like it or not and 'everyone will have to bow the knee and confess Him as Lord.' This kind of ended the post.

There are many things going on in our world today that, points to the fact that time is short - we are living in the End Times and, we need to prepare for this. Just think about the standards that have dropped in the world just of late. Many have forgotten God or refuse to get to know about Him. Instead, they live life the way they want to whether it is wrong in God's eyes or not. The world is in Spiritual Decay.

You may not be able to change what is happening in the world but, you can change or improve what happens in your own life, family or home. Ungodly standards need to go and there is a need to get rid of anything that will disarm you in your spiritual walk. You can help make a spiritual change around your home and immediate area - your neighbours. Refuse worldly values and uphold Godly ones. Ensure that you are not drawn into this world of decay. Jesus, I believe, is just around the corner. God is priming Him for His return. We need to be ready.
