Discerning the times!

Jesus said to the people in Luke 12:56, "Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?" Man seems to have the capacity to miss what God is saying and doing. What do we see when we look at the economic crisis around the world? Or what do we see when the leadership of the countries of the world keep lying to one another trying to gain allies, but all the while, they bargain with one anothers enemies? Or what about all the lies politicians spew forth during election time, and as soon as they are in office they do exactly the opposite of what they promised? Are we the people that can't discern between our right hand and our left hand? Perhaps if we discerned the times and signs, we would suspect that time is short. God will only wink at sin for so long. Then God will judge all the inhabitants of earth. What will he find when he looks closely at our lives? Hopefully he will see hearts washed in the blood of Christ. It is the time to watch and pray friend, for we do not know the hour when God will send Jesus back to get us, but we do know that it will happen.
