Don`t fall into the trap of neglect

Don`t fall into the trap of neglect – Eight three

     There are lessons we can learn from the Word of God.  Hebrew 2:3, reminds us to not neglect such a great salvation.  It is hard to believe that Christians could be capable of doing this but it happens every day.  In the busyness of life that not happens but more often than we would like to admit.  Think about it.  Here you are working, eating, doing exercise, watching television, reading books, going out with family and friends, paying bills etc.  Before you know it a day or two has gone by and you have not had one moment with God. 
     You did not mean for it to happen it just did.  You had the best intentions when you started each day but each day has time constraints and challenges of their own.  The urgent and the crisis calling for your attention.  Family, friends, work and other things demanding you spend time with them.  Then there are all the voices of the world.  The telemarketer, the ad campaign, the salesman trying to sell you another gadget or gizmo knife. 
     Here is God waiting for you to spend time with Him.  His voice is still and small.  He is only as close as the mention of His name.  If you come to Him you will find rest for your soul.  Peace in the midst of the storm.  Joy in the middle of pain and suffering.  His joy can become your strength.  He can give you the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  All the wonderful benefits such as love, joy, peace, grace mercy, freedom and victory are yours but you do not access them because you are just too busy with life.  It is easy to neglect so great a salvation but we do to our peril.  Today remember that this salvation should never be taken for granted.  To do so could you miss the most important thing of all your eternity.  Be wise and spend time with God today.
