Good Morning Saints!
There’s not one single thing we purchase today that doesn’t come with a “warning label” is there? Pretty much every single thing we purchase has one, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we will read it does it? It might be because we are in a hurry, the writing on the container is so small that even a magnifying glass wouldn’t blow it up large enough to read it, we’ve read it the first time we ever purchased that item and don’t think it would have or could have changed since then, or we flat out just don’t care. One thing is for sure, if you don’t read the “warning label” ever, it will come back to haunt you in some way form or fashioned. I have to admit that I am very guilty of not doing it every single time, but do try to read them most of the time depending on what it is. That is just a sign that people today are too much of a hurry to do anything really important. Oh we think it is important being on the go so much, but sometimes we just need to STOP and smell the roses, so that we’ll “have a more harmonial outcome” in the words of Wilford Brimley in the Tom Selleck movie “Quigley Down Under”. Why are we as human beings so busy that we can’t stop and take the time to enjoy life before it is too late? Part of enjoying life is reading warning labels of things that will allow you to stay away from harm or danger right? Yet so many of us still don’t do it do we? But this isn’t anything new, it has been a faulty trait in our DNA since the beginning of time!
How different do you think our lives, and all the future generations of lives to come, would be had Satan took the time to read the “warning labels” about what the result would be if he were to betray God? What if, just think about it for a moment, what if the serpent had not tempted Eve and she had not fell for his trickery? Had Cain read the “warning label” that Abel read before making his offering to the Lord for Blessing their harvests, how different would Cain’s life had been? How about all the people who were killed by the great flood (40 days and 40 nights rain)? How different would their lives had been if they had also to time to “read the warning labels” of how to live a good Christian life? The people of Israel, how different would their lives had been out in the wilderness had they just took time to read the “warning label” the FIRST time closely as to where their true destiny was in reference to how to get to the Promised Land?? What about Pharaoh, do you think his life would have been more Praiseworthy had he been willing to stop and read the “warning label” of how to rule a country/province/territory without the use of slaves? Just out of curiosity, do you think that Goliath would have been so confident against little David and his three smooth stones and sling, had he just “read the warning label” that David was commissioned or should I say “had on the full armor of God”?? What about all the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, had they slowed down their partying and sinning long enough to “read the warning label a little closer” you think just maybe they would have been spared? And if I am going to bring them up, I have to also bring up Lots wife, you think if she had “taken the time to read the warning label” a little closer she wouldn’t have been so tempted to look back that one last time before being turned into a pillar of salt? What about the Disciples, how different would their lives had been “Faith wise” had they took the time to “read the warning label” a little be closer on Jesus’ authenticity BEFORE waking Him up during the storm while on the boat, and most importantly, Him dying on the Cross? And since I’m talking about Jesus, how different would the lives of the Inn Keepers be had they had a “warning label to read” before the arrival of a pregnant Mary and her hubby Joseph with the Son of God??? Last but now least, how different would the lives of all the people involved in the ridicule, abuse, trial, subsequent beating and death of Jesus Christ have been had they took the time to listen to and or “read the warning label” of Jesus’ truly being the Son of Man just like He said He was???
All of these were examples of Biblical people not “reading the warning labels” that has resulted in this world being in the state that it is in right now. The “warning label’s” I’m referring to in most of the paragraph above this one would be “The Holy Bible, and especially the 10 Commandments”! Ahhhhhhhhhh, you are thinking to yourself “man he got me that time, that was the last thing I was thinking he was referring to, I was trying to remember some actual “warning labels” LOL!!! I’m sure the Bible has been called a many of things, but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it referred to as a “warning label” have you? Despite being full of warnings left and right! How crazy is that? What Christians fail to realize is that God didn’t give us the 10 commandments just for the heck of it! It was part of our early Biblical ancestors agreement with Him to live by HIS laws and not our own! And despite the fact that all of, or at least most of us Christian folk have read or at the very least heard of those Commandments, we have NO excuse for not following them. One of the very reasons the people of Israel ended up wandering around in the wilderness for 40 years was because although they may have read the “warning labels” aka God’s Commandments, they didn’t follow them. They began worshipping idol gods, even questioning God’s true existence because they could “see Him”. Listen people, GOD DOESN’T HAVE TO SHOW HIMSELF TO YOU TO PROVE HE IS GOD!!!! But for kicks and giggles, let’s just say HE DID??? How are you going to explain to Him that you didn’t believe He really existed until He revealed Himself to you visually? I don’t think people think about that especially atheists. I mean really, how would you approach that conversation if God were to reveal Himself to one of them? “Ummmm, uhrrr, hello there whoever you are being that I don’t believe in God, how are you doing?” God – “so you don’t believe in me huh, that is fine you are entitled to that opinion/option. But on the such and such day of such and such, you will be involved in a very serious accident, you won’t survive it and it will happen so fast that you won’t have time to repent (not that you would anyways because you don’t believe in Me), but that is just a little “Food For Thought” for you to think about between now and then. Oh and by the way, tomorrow when you wake up, your car won’t start, you will be late to work, and your job will fire you. When you come home you will be so distraught that you contemplate suicide, because you don’t believe in Me Praying is not an outlet/option for you. Again this is just something for you to think about while you are standing there in MY presence not acknowledging ME as God. Oh one more thing, let Me know how that accident situation works out for you without my help! I’ll be seeing you soon (Judgment Day).” In my “Third Eye Perspective” mentality, I can see a conversation taking place like that with God and a non-believer. Can I ask you a very sincere question, if you don’t mind?
When was the last time you stopped long enough to “read the warning labels”???
