We Have A Task

eDevotion

Encouragement for your daily walk with God 

There is an legend about a man who tried to save the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorra from sure destruction. He went from city to city shouting and screaming, trying to awaken the people, to warn them of the coming judgment if they didn’t turn from their sins. But, alas, the people didn’t respond. They ignored him. 

One day a citizen said to the man, “Why do you do this? Why bother everyone? There’s nothing you can do or say that is going to change them.” “Well, you may be right,” he responded, “but I also do it to prevent them from changing me!” 

There is a profound truth there. We live in a fallen world filled with Christ haters, which is only increasing. And like the man in the legend, we must do everything we can to keep from being sucked into it! 

So let it rip! One of the benefits of being a warner is that it keeps us focussed on the task we have—furthering the kingdom of God. 

But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Ezekiel 33:6
