Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Recently, there’s been a flurry of economic activity across the nations of earth, as the post-pandemic surge of business comes roaring back to life. And as a consequence, prices of homes have gone through the roof, and some may be thinking of cashing in on the windfall before the frenzy abates, and the laws of financial gravity begin to take their inevitable toll.
That’s all well and good, as God may direct, but let us never forget this one thing, that we are pilgrims here on this earth, like Elijah, Abraham and all of the faithful who went before, we’re passing through heading for a better world.
And as such, it is important that we do not become too ingratiated with the prosperity of today that we forget the fact that God may call us quite suddenly, as He did with Elijah, to relinquish those temporal interests of life, which too often absorb our best energies and interests.
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
