A computer’s modem brings the internet into our house; We can access the “windows” of the world’s knowledge just by clicking the mouse. Mankind’s wisdom has been brought to bear and made manifest; Wrought by his insatiable thirst for knowledge, all things, in himself, he doth invest. In the last days, mankind will be ever-learning, so teaches the Bible; Cutting the cords between them and God, never holding themselves liable. “Professing themselves to be wise, they will become fools,” insisting on their own way; Never stopping to consider that God is the potter, and they are but clay. Heaven’s Modem is what I want for my house, always “on line” and never needing an “upgrade;” I can access the “Windows of Heaven” by the Holy Spirit; God imparted Him to me in a trade: I confessed to God my sins, God gave to me His Holy Spirit in return. Salvation became mine in the bargain; His grace and mercy became my concern. No matter how worldly-wise mankind becomes, or ever hopes to be, Without God, he is never complete in himself; that is plain for all to see. When the richest and most admired of their ranks are ever misbehaving and hooked on drugs; That tells me they are broken inside, and desperately in need of God’s Heavenly Hug. Man’s rebellious nature, however, drives him ever farther away from his only real answer; He thumps his chest, proclaiming his self-reliance, then he dies from cancer. Man’s days are as the flower of grass that today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven. If only he would humble himself and pray, his final estate could be settled in Heaven.
