Time on the Clock

Just a reminder that the elector college meets on Monday, so we need to be praying

into the matter before the Supreme Court. The court could weigh in anytime but the clock is running out.

Let us ask God to "remember" us; the righteous who are waiting on God to move.  Abraham had conversations with God, and God was moved.  Remember? Genesis 18:16-33. What about Jonah 3:10? Our God wants to have conversations with us, His children; I get it.

Are you a parent?  Don't you love it when your grown children WANT TO or better yet, CHOOSE TO spend time with you?  I know I never want my adult children to feel they HAVE to be with me. Right?  Isn't that how we are wired?  Well, who wired us?  Who are we created in the image of?  Y'all, God wants us to WANT Him because we like hanging out with Him - not because it is a duty as a Christian or a "have to", like to be saved.  He doesn't want us to want Him for what He can do FOR us; although He loves to "do" for us, it's about being WITH Him.  Think as a parent and it will help you shift in your heart toward the Lord. If you are not a parent, maybe you are married, or you are in a dating situation but anyway you slice it, I tell you, the same questions will apply. Do you WANT people to WANT to be with you? Even if you don't have a significant "other", you STILL desire your friends to WANT to be with you... it's how we were designed - for mutual relationship; both parties pursuing the time together!

Saint's, an athlete doesn't leave the field when the clock is still running.  Right?  They use up the clock; they finish the game. We get that in sports but again, this is a type of modeling as well. Let us not grow weary friends (Galatians 6:9) - there is still time on the clock! 

I have a friend who is a Hall of Fame and Hall of Honor award winner for basketball.  He got this achievement because of his ability to teach his players how to manage the ball, and his ability to use the clock in his favor.  MANY games were nail-biters, but he had many more wins than losses because of his ability to know how to play his sport. 

Y'all, I believe God is waiting for us... we think we are waiting for Him.  Ask Him.  He wants to have THAT conversation with you. He wants to find us and meet with us in the midst of this storm... it's what He does.

Maranatha.
