REALLY LIVE
Today's reading: Amos 5-9
"Come back to the Lord and live!" Amos 5:6 NLT
We all know them--the walking dead. The ones who know the Truth and yet choose to live outside its boundaries, walking in what they want instead of what they know to be right.
They're miserable. They are empty. They are lost, but the kind of lost that comes by choice not by lack of knowledge.
They inhale and exhale. Their hearts beat. They go about the motions of day-to-day life, but they're not really, really and truly alive.
Pray that they come back to the Lord! Ask God to get their attention, draw them back in, remind their hearts of what they learned as children.
Pray that we as Christians live lives of exemplary behavior. Make them want what we have.
There's more to our time on earth than just getting by--we have been given the opportunity to really live!
