Revelation. Literally and figuratively.
Literally:
Revelation 3:15-19
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Figuratively:
Psalm 118:24
24This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
I realized tonight that by me not living in today, and stressing over planning for tomorrow makes me lukewarm.
It means I am so content with the way I am living that I feel that the future is when it is time to start serving God, and not realizing that....
realizing that God isn't asking me to plan for tomorrow, He's asking me to live for Him today.
Be hot in the Lord. for aren't you more important than the grass in the field and the birds in the air? =]
