America is aging; the baby boomers are older now and the effect on society is significant!!! I saw this picture and remembered yesterday; when I found myself in a room and didn't have the slightest idea why I was in there. No big deal! I was a bit surprised and that was it; period. An hour later I remembered what I was going to do and by that time I had thought up something to add to my task, so things turned out much better than they would have in the first place. Some things can be forgotten easily at any age, but when remembered can really make a difference in your life. Check out what the apostle Peter says about this...
WEB: II Peter Chapter 3
[1] This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you; [2] that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior: [3] knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts, [4] and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” [5] For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God; [6] by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. [7] But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. [8] But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The other day I watched the movie Armageddon again. The opening scene in which you see a picture of the Earth and Charlton Heston says something like... it has happened before and it will happen again. He was referring to the Earth being hit by a six mile meteorite which nearly destroyed the planet. His words resonated with me because we humans tend to forget things; and in times of prosperity... God. Today, more than ever, we need to remember the past; that apostasy has happened before, just as it has become prevalent in this culture. But, God is patient with us and in his own good time will sort everything out and make all right. Don't forget... remember who HE is and what HE will do and some day (perhaps even today) you will be eternally glad you did. Surprise! God will bless you; only don't forget HIM!!!
