In desperate need of Jesus!

One thing i absolutely love is coming across the promises of God (for me) in the Bible. I have been going through the "T's" of the Old Testament. Ist and 2nd Thessaloniians, Ist and 2nd Timothy, and Titus. However, for some reason I read these books out of order. Tonight i read 2nd Timothy. Chapter 1 verse 12 says, "He is able to keep what i have committed to Him until that Day." I couldn't help but think back to 1st Timothy 6:20 where Paul writes, "O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust..." I thought back on the things God has blessed me with and whether or not i had fully committed them to Him. It's so amazing how if we surrender to God our life, and everything in it, He promises He will take care of it. The problem however, is that I think that if I don't get it done, it wont get done right. But it's God. 

In chapter 3 of 2nd Timothy Paul speaks of the Last Days before Christ returns. "For men will be lovers of  themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self -control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."  but at the end of these verses it says, " having a form of godliness but denying its power."  The second i read that my heart sank. I realized that this is the world I am living in. A world that has a form of godliness but denies its power. It's like my generation knows there is something more to this life. May believe in a Creator, But doesn't want to serve Him. And because they don't care, they deny His power. It's like a person with you always, calling that person your friend, but never talking to Him, never listening to Him, never caring about Him. 

In Hosea it says, " For she did not know that i gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold. therefore I will return and take away My grain in its time, and My new wine in it's season... I will punish her for the days of Baals to which she burned incense... and went after her lovers;But Me she forgot... therefore behold I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness and speak comfort to her. i will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor as a door of hope; she shall sing there as in the days of her youth... and it shall be in that day, that you will call Me 'My Husband' and no longer call me 'My Master', for I will take from her the names of the Baals. Sometimes I forget that my sufficiency is from Christ and from Him alone.
