Grief
AUDIENCE
As we can see that on social media lots of Prayer requests, quotes and messages have been posted, and we are also among them who do this and social media is a much popular thing to express their feelings, current Status etc. in today’s life, we are connected to so many Groups also.
What I have seen there and noticed that What we will do when somebody put or post a request of Prayer to help him in any matter, Healing,Financial, Job etc.
When I was in an extremely difficult situation and found nobody there to help me, I cried to God these are the words or prayer king David put in front of God in Psalms 102:3-4, 6-7 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
He said I am like a pelican or an owl of desert, hoping for the morning as my situations are forcing me down like an enemy who want to defeat me,but what I found when the morning comes ,I found a multitude of Audience who just watching me from a distance and liking it pressing and hitting that “LIKE” a button.
Nobody has come near to me to console me in my grief or disappointment giving me a helping hand to take me out of my situation or sufferings, it gives me a sorrowful feeling that I am at some kind of wonder, In Greek category to describe what people call "wonders" today was "theamata," again David says in Psalms 142:4 “I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.”
This is not just the situation which King David is described in his prayers, but it is the situation of so many people like us, who are facing the same kind of trauma in fighting their situations.
At this time our expectations increased when we started expecting that my near and dear ones will definitely come forward to help me.
Moreover, what we found that people just hitting like button and are Just Audience and don't want to come near to us with a helping hand.
This also reminds us when we See Jesus sufferings, crucifixtion,at that time also we were just behaved like Audience, enjoyed,laughed and also make jokes on him,when at that time nobody came forward to help him then how can we accept we will be saved from this.
So what we say to put this request in front of my Fellow brothers/Sisters or the Believers who shared the same faith, what is in his mind when he or she putting that request, Nothing but a faith and belief that “Yes" my Brother and sisters in Jesus is there who are standing with me in my distressed situation,and by their prayers my situation will be turned or changed no matter who comes for my Help but I am sure My Brother and Sister in Jesus will definitely come to help me out of this situation.
But does he or she ask you to help him financially, does he or she tells you that please help me in getting me a Job in your contacts, I am in dire need of it to fulfill my family needs.
Some people are there in a position to help that person, but they hide their faces and does not even want to hit that Like button.
What we do exactly is Just pressing the “LIKE” button, it’s like we go to the zoo and have seen a weird animal and start liking it or gone to the theater to watch a movie and gives our thumbs up for liking.
Our thinking is, it’s good to watch from a distance and like it.
The Bible says correctly in James 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?.
This does not apply on to Just on your blood relatives your brother or sister, but the one who is your brothers and sister in Christ also, what Jesus said about it in Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Today's the tragedy is that we are more in Show of business and wearing a Cloth or Mask of Righteousness, but from inside there is a different face which nobody has seen.
Is this the true face of us or we are just Two faced People or just the AUDIENCE who actually enjoying the show.
This is the fact of this materialistic world and my personal experience, where I have put the prayer request for my Job , but sad to except likes or few words “Praying” nothing has come up.
We shouldn't behave like an AUDIENCE if our brother or sister is in need we should try to help him or her, by doing this we should at least obey one of God's will what Jesus said in (Matthew 12:50).
