Have You Recognized Your Opportunity!

When Yeshua had come closer and could see the city, he wept over it, saying "If you only knew today what is needed for shalom! But for now it is hidden from your sight. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you, encircle you, hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within your walls, leaving not one stone standing on another - and all because you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!" - Luke 19:41-44

In the quiet of the night last evening , as I lay on my bed meditating, I began to weep. I was moved in such a way after doing some extensive reading this past week on the body of Messiah past and present. My heart was troubled with how far we have strayed from the original intent. I was immediately taken in my mind to the scriptures where Yeshua was weeping over Jerusalem. While crying, I believe God allowed me an opportunity to feel a portion of His heart as it relates to the church today. What struck me the most after reading the Word this morning was this... "you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!"

I challenge all of us today who claim the risen Lord as Messiah to come back to His heart. Don't miss the opportunity God has offered you. Ask yourself these questions.

Do I know what my Faith is rooted in?
Do I know who I am grafted into?
What is the opportunity God has offered me?
Have I recognized the Masters voice and obeyed?
Is my Lord and Savior weeping over me today?
