Revelation 3:16

Hello All,
Life has been so hectic, but good. Family time over the weekend as we celebrated Chuck's birthday was great. But, as you can see, it's taking me awhile to get back to my schedule. Thanks for your prayers.
When Chuck and I were in the Czech Republic, we often visited a nearby city that had a mineral spring spa. We'd take our teams there to experience this unusual place and enjoy watching their faces when they tasted the mineral water.
There was a fountain that you could fill small vessels with and then drink. Many people would actually spit out the small amount they tasted. Others would boldly swallow and ask for more! I didn't like the water at all, mainly because it was lukewarm and tasted horrible.
We would buy mineral water called Vincenka and use it for sore throats and colds. It had marvelous healing properties, but I always drank it icy cold or warmed in a pan and sat with a towel over my head to capture the steam.
In Revelation 3:16, John writes: "So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Jesus is ticked off! The church at Laodicea was just like the church today, lazy, complacent and not honoring God.
But, lets bring this closer to home. How is your walk with the Lord? Is it lukewarm? Are the holes in your life being filled by the Lord and His Spirit or have you shoved Him out with busyness, family, work, pleasures, etc?
How much time do you devote to you and your 'things' that occupy every day life? I'm really horrible with math, but I know that percentages are out of balance if 'things' are taking up the lion's share of our day and that the Lord gets shoved into a few minutes before we fall asleep on Him.
So, do you want to be spit out of the Lord's mouth or held dearly in His arms are you walk closer every day with Him? It really is your choice. He's always there with His arms wide open, waiting for you to run to Him. So, get your running shoes on and hit the road.

Abiding,
Sandy
