I Peter 3:15 - . . . say's we should " always be ready to give and account of the hope that is within us. . ." . That is definitely one thing that is becoming 'obsolete' in our culture; the idea of accountability. Are we constantly hearing "we'll if _____ would just do this or that" or "if I had this or that then things would be a lot different". My favorite is " well if the government would just make some right decisions. . . "
What ever happened to personal accountability? Hebrews 9: 27 says that "it is appointed unto men, once to die, after this the judgment". Judgement of what? Your life. What did or did not do with the "grace God gave YOU".
Yes, there is the mess of this world we must live in, but there is also the LIFE of Christ given us, through His own blood which offers HOPE and salvation.
I am not innocent of the griping and complaining about the circumstances I find myself in; but I am "learning to be content, in whatever state I find myself in" and to "be still and know that He is God".
Do you have THAT HOPE? Are you receiving and reinvesting that 'grace that is sufficient"?
Jesus has touched my heart and given me His love and that hope. Just like the blind man, "now I can see". Thank you Lord Jesus! Please help us to "give that account" to all who will hear it.
God bless you
