Have you ever found yourself longing for the ‘good old days?’ Times when life seemed less complicated and you had more time for things in your life that now seem to get crowded out in today’s busyness. More time for friends and family and things that really mattered.
It even seems like we had more time for God back then. Going to church or being with church people 3 and 4 times a week was not unusual. God even seemed to be more real in our lives.
Some feel that things today are not as good as they used to be. A man wrote to a magazine editor complaining that, “Your magazine is not as good as it used to be.” The editor wrote back, “It never has been.” We would not really be that happy if things were like they used to be. We have so much more available to us in today’s world than man has ever had. The real problem is learning what is important and what is not. We could have just as much time as we used to have, but we’ve allowed ourselves to conform to the world instead of Christ.
In today’s world we need to stop longing for the God of the old days and start seeking the God of all days. When life overwhelms you remember the words of the Psalmist in 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God…I will be exalted in the earth.”
