We are a faithless generation.
Fumbling through life without any goals, living for the moment without vision, and chasing after temporary gains. I too am guilty of this. It's all too easy to be swept away by the savory desires of the world. But really what are we doing? Leaving God out of the picture for our future. Our focus is on everything BUT God, and we are left standing there wondering what to do. In this subtle decay, our words have lost value, the truth has been watered down and is barely recognizable. Constantly skeptical of who tells the truth, who you can believe, who to trust. We have lost faith in God, lost faith in others, and lost faith in ourselves. We cut ourselves down for what we are worth. We don't give people credit for hard work. And we don't live in faithful submission to God. How much would the world be different if we put God first? Surely, we wouldn't have all the problems we have now. It's not to late for me and you, to get it right. Sit and reflect on all the things you do, what is your motives? Are you following God's voice or simply doing whatever feels right at the moment? I grieve the lost of my childlike faith. But here I am, facing the world with all my hurts and scars, looking for purpose and straining to hear God's voice amidst the noisy chaos of the world. Where are you standing? Are you lost in the world? Are you living out your faith?
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:2-3
