It is encouraging to know that some see, and I believe that this discernment comes from the Holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonias 5: 1-11
Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Lately, I believe have been putting a little too much credence on the things of this world and in myself: job, money, politics, etc. My areas of worry lately have been too much on myself, rather than faith in Christ.
I also notice that the discussions among my friends (even my Christian ones) focus almost exclusively on money and retirement (which I am not even sure is a Biblical concept).
But all of that is centered on a faith in this world, an investment in this world, and belief that this world hold priority over an investment in Jesus.
I wonder how quickly all that this world promises and tantalizes with could come crashing down, literally overnight.
Perhaps the Rapture of the Church will be that catalyst.
In any case, I pray that God keeps refocusing me on things that truly matter.
