Live fully

 

2 Thessalonians 2: 7

 

⁷For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

 

 

On some level we all live in a bubble. We go through life with blinders on. Sure, some have bigger blinders than others, but more often than not we see what we want to see, not what is the full reality of the world around us. Maybe it is too much to process, or the feeling of insecurity that comes with fully acknowledging all of the hate, and lawlessness in the world is too much to handle….whatever the case we must work to remove those blinders. Paul puts it well here when he calls it the secret power of lawlessness. Typically lawlessness does not come busting through the door, it creeps in under the door jamb, it looks for a cracked window….it comes in quietly and tries to take over. We might not know the day or the hour that the Lord will return ,but you can be certain of when sin and lawlessness will show up….today. Today tomorrow, the day after that……it does not take a day off, so we cannot either! Do not be afraid to take off your blinders, live in the fullness of the world, so that you might not only fully see the blessings of the Lord, but that you might also easily see the lawlessness that is trying to creep into your life. The Lord will protect you, he will never forsake you, but there is much out there that will try to convince you that is not true. Live fearlessly, live fully, and make it a point to live fully awake, and with your eyes wide open.
