Nothing would be more devastating than to hear these words from Jesus, and it begs the question we all ought to ask:
How would you rate YOUR love and commitment for God? Is it close, devoted, and reverent? Or casual, presumptive, or lacadaisical?
If you don’t reverence the Lord as Almighty, the Creator who MADE YOU and LOVES YOU wholeheartedly and have not this same union with Him in your heart, your 'lukewarmness' might as well be ICY COLD.
Friend, if this is the case in your life, look inside your heart and examine where you stand with the Lord. If you need to rekindle your love for God, don’t stay in a rebellious or indifferent state! Instead pray:
Dear LORD, I have cooled my heart towards you. Please forgive me, Lord. I am so sorry, and I ask You to soften my heart, because I realize how much you love me. I don’t want to be lukewarm in my life towards you, but instead to rightfully honor you as my Lord and God with my whole heart on fire for you from this moment on for the rest of my life. — AMEN

We are all IN this world, but it depends on how we traverse our time here.
Some don’t know their place or role and wonder through life trying to figure out why there are here. Others completely settle in and fully embrace all that the world offers. In both these scenarios, as today’s verse admonishes us, do not just be 'in' or a 'part of it' for two reasons.
First, your life — and your time in this world — will be here and gone quickly as Jesus said, “The grass of the field is here today, but tomorrow is cast into the oven.” Second, we are to be HOLY. This means to be separate from this world and not immersed in it’s ways or pleasures because we are just passing through. As Christians we are neither Strangers or Citizens of this world because “Our Citizenship Is In HEAVEN” (Philippians 3:20) where we have been promised to have “A building of God in a house not made with hands that is eternal in the heavens.” (2 Corinthians 5:1)
Earth is not our final HOME, but a temporary one. Mark 4:19 likewise warns us about separating ourselves and not being caught up in “…the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in.”
Christian, you are just Passing Through! Keep moving towards the high calling that God has placed before you and look to the eternal promise that is yours through Christ.

As a 17-year-old recruit in boot camp, I had been given the order to stand the midnight to 0400 watch over my barracks at Naval Training Center, San Diego. At one point in my rounds I stopped at the rear fire escape of the second deck above a canal that led out to the bay. Looking out over a moon-lit night lay the safety of the base fence. Cars drove silently along in the distance while lights of the houses up on the hills twinkled beneath a calm starry sky. And then this struck me…
What exactly am I guarding here? This is a recruit training base! We’re inside a protected border in a non-war zone of a major U.S. city housing one of the largest military bases in the country. So what was my purpose?
As today’s scripture verse says, those that Hear and Obey and are Watching are (and will be) BLESSED. In my watch, if I had gone to sleep or left my post I could have been severely reprimanded or even court martialed - as inconsequential as it was to the security of the nation.
The point is that no matter what you are given to do in this life, do it well and do it faithfully. There is a reward for all those that HEAR God’s voice and answer His call. It is not how big or important the watch we have been given, but how FAITHFUL we are in carrying out what we are called to do.

If you are lost, you need a compass, but even if you have one, which direction is YOUR compass pointing? A compass has 360 points, so the question is, is your needle pointing true north, or one of 359 other degrees that will lead you astray?
You see, in this life we all are 'lost' on our path to eternity, so we need a true compass to lead us to safety. The question is where do we find this compass of life, and what direction does it say we should go?
Jesus gave us the answer when He said:
“ I am the way, The truth, and The life. No man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” John 14:6
You see, the compass Christ gives us will always point 'True North' and just like today’s scripture will always point us on The Way To God.
When you follow HIS Pointer, it will ALWAYS point you to SAFETY.
