But what will you do in the end?

Jeremiah 5:31

The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

I read this last night and I've had the question running through my head over and over: What will I do in the end? But, "What will I do when...?" was my first question that I had to answer. When prophets prophesy lies and priests rule by their own authority. It is a sign that people will start to speak what is not true, and that men will rule and take the praise and wealth meant for God. These are the hard times, the times when the world is full of sin and many are trying to lead the Way into darkness. These are the times when sin takes over. The world is in this time, it has been a while. There are so many other religions, so many false doctrines and there are people who take the pure Holy Scriptures and use it for personal gain. Sin is gaining more and more control in this world each day. So the question for us remains, "What will we do in the end?"

I thought about the answer for most of the day and am still thinking about it now as I write. The reason why is because it is a two part answer. The first is the part that all of us share. We must look at the different doctrines and test them with the Holy Spirit that we have received. How to do this? Test it against the Scriptures and remember the nature of the God who saved us with His Son's Loving sacrifice for us. Remember who God is, give up yourself as a living sacrifice and you can test His good perfect and pleasing Will. Then when you find the truths among the lies, go out and share them with others in this world. Just make sure that you are sure they are true.

The second part of the answer is a personal one. We have all been given unique gifts by God to use to serve Him in different ways. He has His plans for us, so we must give ourselves up and ask Him what He wants so we may know what it is we can do. This is a personal journey all must take. I am on mine, and speaking from experience, God doesn't tell you everything about the future all at once. That's a great thing. Think of how boring life would be if we knew everything that was coming. But instead we get to rely on a God who has written our entire story with perfect details in His book. All we need is the Book He's already given us to find out what our own books say.

The world is crashing down like a plane with no engines because of the weight of sin it gains everyday. We need to act now. We are saved, but it doesn't mean everyone else is automatically saved too. This world is dying and reaching its end, and many people, as the passage says, like it this way. So, what will we do? What will I do? What will you do? The only answer, is to ask God what to do day by day and to live out the story that He wrote before any of this began. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.
