14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:14-16
I found myself experiencing many temperatures outside that gave me a false sense of how the weather should be this week. One day the sun is beating down and it is almost 70 degrees and another day the morning temperature is 28 degrees with a wind chill of a few degrees colder. I just wish that the weather would find a happy medium. That should not be the case for our daily deeds in how we treat others. We need to be consistent in our fairness and treatment of others, rather than being fake, or better yet lukewarm. God wants us to be one way with others and not constantly bouncing around. He wants our focus to be on how we can help, and not be wishy-washy. If I had to guess, God wants us to be filled with fire in our actions and not just lukewarm. If you are lukewarm, you are just pacing yourself through life with no true intentional driven effort. Experience the heat that intentionality brings joy, and enjoy your deeds. You don't want to be spit out.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
