“For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” Mathew 24:21
Cutting grass the other day, approaching bushes that run around the back of the house, a sudden brown streak took of out in front of the mower. A rabbit had been lying there, apparently in hopes of remaining unnoticed, until fear took over and it ran. This is a common occurrence at my house.
My backyard is fenced on 2 sides so there really is only 1 way to go, and that is AROUND. Remaining there would leave the rabbit trapped. Though I do not know why I have them, bunnies of all ages seem to like my yard…until it’s mowing time! When the cutting starts, they wait until the last second, then simply cut and run!
Studying the final chapters of Daniel, there is an advantage to looking backward in time to see how His people responded to God and the times in which they lived. Though written HUNDREDS of years before the foretold events came to pass, God’s Word had been proclaimed, ignored, verified and attacked. Sadly, God’s people rarely heeded God’s Words…choosing instead to hide out and hope for the best. Like a WABIT!
A W.A.B.I.T. is a person who ‘Won’t Accept Biblically Inspired Truth!’ Sadly, that makes up a very large majority of the people of the world. And like the bunnies in my yard, and in spite of the sights and sounds surrounding this fenced-in trap of a world where NO one gets out alive…most choose to ignore, lay low or make a run for it…to nowhere!
I know The Bible. I know what it says and KINDA know what to expect! What is coming, if we don’t pay attention to what God says, is going to be bad…. REALLY bad! With a critical election coming up, many people are choosing to not look to what GOD has to say about how we live. We will either listen, heed and make adjustments…or!!!!
Don’t be a W.A.B.I.T.
