Busy but Guilty.

We are in a busy generation.
This is the age of “busy-ness” with all the rat race for materialism, egotism, family estrangement, etc, the age of vices, the age that the Scriptures describes as difficult times.

On the other hand, this age is also busy with the right, legitimate things of life which has blinded us to the things of heaven. We are now so occupied that scarcely do we think of the things of heaven.

The people of Noah’s time were flushed away by the flood because of their “busy-ness.” They are rightly busy but guilty.
They are busy, pre-occupied with the legitimate things of life yet they are guilty; “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered the ark, and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matt. 24: 37-39 KJV)

There is no law against eating. No legal implications are associated with drinking. You never commit a crime for marrying or you’re been given in marriage. They are all legitimate “busy-ness” of life but can lead to spiritual “guilty-ness” if care is not taken.
The people were so taken up in all these activities that they never knew when Noah entered the ark. The flood came and wiped them off.
Don’t be too busy in the expense of your heavenly home.

The invited Guests to the Great Feast wee so busy they became guilty and counted themselves unworthy of the honor of the invitation. They all made excuses of being busy and they became guilty.

There is no law, either profane or divine, that forbids property investment, animal husbandry or agricultural practices and marriage. These are all legitimate, valid, genuine, legal and justifiable issues that made busy in the expense and sacrifice of the honor that awaited them at the Great Feast and you know what, they became guilty. Busy but guilty.

Be careful.

You can be doing the right thing, even working for God and yet become guilty.

Be sensitive.

Be on the alert.

The trumpet may sound at any time.
“Know this: A homeowner who knew exactly when a burglar was coming would not permit the house to be broken into. You must be ready all the tine, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”
