Smoke Alarm Parable - by DianaDee Osborne

SMOKE  ALARM  PARABLE     SUBSCRIBE

PARABLE:  
Awoke this AM to 2 blasts from smoke detector & blaring electronic voice "Fire! Fire"... and then silence. No problems detected.. It's 4 months old.. Can't find a detector that really works. (Suggestions welcome!) With heart pounding for 1/2 hr, decided 'gotta get some parable outta this'... sorta a 'Romans 8:28' resolution for the moment's terror. Here 'tis: We pretty much ignore smoke alarms blasts now because of so many false alarms for 10 years. 2 Peter 3:4 EASY PATTERN 234 > "...scoffers will come in the last days... saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming?... all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” THOUGH: These days they scoff too much to admit to "Creation."
 
SO WHAT ??
First Peter 5:8  - God clearly repeats through Jesus's beloved disciple
what Jesus already said in John 10:10 and  John 8:44 ... that 
Satan HATES you.
WANTS you to get careless,
       to think there is plenty of time...
Satan puts into your mind the thought 
each time you wonder if you should be following Christ more closely,
       "There's plenty of time.... you deserve a break.... God wants you to rest......."
            Ignore the lies you think... TIME IS RACING! Jesus said so --
John 4:35
"Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

2nd Peter Chapter 3, continued from above:
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, 
not willing that any should perish 
but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
