Grace for your spirit. March 12, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem. and look now and take note, and seek in her open squares, If you can find a man, If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth, then I will pardon her. Jeremiah 5:1

With doom immediately on the horizon, Jeremiah is given the formula to save Jerusalem. If he could find one man who knew what was right and did what was right, God would pardon the city. He couldn't. We face doom on the horizon today, and we need the faithful to stand up and be counted. In our churches, can we find one person who truly knows what is right and does it? One person who will give someone a ride to worship services. One person who will visit the sick and feed the poor. One person who will volunteer to teach a Bible class, and study with a lost soul to lead them to Jesus. These things are right and they need to be done, but is there anyone willing to do it? Once there was a church made up with four people. Anybody, Somebody, Everybody, and Nobody. When a job needed to be done, Anybody could do, Somebody should do it. Everybody could do it. But in the end Nobody did. It is time to come alive. Can we hear our storms forming on the horizon. One person can change the course. Will it be us?
