I was looking at things I have subscribed to for awhile and then I find that they are of no longer an interest. I unsubscribe and this is a natural consequence of no longer having time or interest.
This got me to thinking about God and His word, His plan, His purpose.
Are there times when I “unsubscribe” to His word, His leading, His whispers, His angels, His direction, His power, His grace, His discipline, His mercy, His plans, His help, His refuge, His message, His joy, His hope, His safety, His encouragement, His strength, or His love????? Do I see the affects of “unsubscribing”?
Busyness has a way of eroding away commitment (subscribing). There never seems to be enough time to keep God first and be able to stay on top of all the busyness.
We need to be mindful of things in our busy lives that take over being intentionally subscribed to God.
When it comes to “subscribing” commitment to God there is an eternal consequence of “unsubscribing” this commitment. The erosion of commitment is slow at first and recognized but before long it slips away and what we are changing into, or what we are lacking is blocked by the cares of this world and the busyness of the day. Our lives are soon changed.
Change comes in the the form of pride, self help, self satisfaction, wanting more, needing more, having more and never being satisfied, lack of joy, hope, courage, strength, peace, and rest. The problem is that we become to blind to see God leading us and to deaf to hear God speaking to us. We end up on a path void of knowing or understanding and lose purpose in life.
Unsubscribing from God never ends well. Stay in His word. Meditate on it always. Subscribe to humbly serve, honor, glorify, follow and obey God.
