"Lukewarm people do not live by faith; their lives are structured so they never have to.
They don't have to trust in God if the unexpected happens-they have their savings account.
They don't need God to help them-they have their retirement plan in place.
They don't genuinely seek out what life God would have them live-they have life figured and mapped out.
They don't depend on God on a daily basis-their refrigerators are full and, for the most part, they are in good health.
The truth is their lives wouldn't look much different if they suddenly stopped believing in God"

I hate the internet, life would be much more comfortable if I didn't keep coming across stuff like this.
I once lived the life you describe here. All mapped out, secure and invulnerable to any belief or faith. I had the dual crutch of self-belief, secure job and secure pension. What could change it?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, God had other ideas. He appeared in my life in a moment of vulnerability, and got his hooks into me.
It transformed everything in my life, my relationships and how I planned my retirement. Now, insecure, waiting for God's will to become clear - I've never been happier.
God be praised.
