FOMO, or “Fear Of Missing Out.”

“FOMO, or the fear of missing out, is the anxiety that arises from the belief that others are having rewarding experiences that you are not part of, often exacerbated by social media.”

This phenomenon has several negative psychological effects, including increased anxiety and depression, distraction from the present, and compulsive behavior. This brings to mind the biblical account of Sarah in Genesis 21:1-3, where she patiently and faithfully awaited God’s promise that she would bear a child at the appointed time. True to His nature, God always fulfills His promises. He came through for Sarah and Abraham, granting them the gift of a son named Isaac, meaning “laughter.”

If there’s one message I can impart today, it’s this: do not succumb to FOMO. Don’t let the world deceive you into thinking you’re missing out on anything; you are not. Everything will happen for you at the set time. There is an appointed time for every birthing. Wait patiently for God’s timing, for He has not forgotten you. You are held securely in the palm of His hand; how could He forget you? Remain steadfast in prayer, waiting, and serving during this time. If God has placed an idea or a plan in your heart, He will ensure you bring it to fruition at the right time.

A wake up call…

Beloved, this is a call for believers and non-believers to check their hearts and repent. I felt compelled to share a message that came to me on October 2nd. Though I’m a bit late in sharing, I believe its message is timeless. I hope it prompts you to pause and reevaluate yourself, as it did me.

We are living in a time of grace, empowered by the Holy Spirit to help us with all our needs. We must not take this season for granted.  Just as the apostles and early disciples had Jesus and lived lives that set examples for us, we too are writing the chapters of our lives. After this era of grace, a more challenging time will come, marked by increased worldly advancement and wickedness. We can avoid these difficulties if we respond to God’s call and allow His Holy Spirit to guide us during this period of grace. Beloved, you have the grace to overcome sin and habits that easily hinder you, if only you ask the Holy Spirit to help you walk in it.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, have mercy on us. May we not miss this opportunity in Jesus’ name. May we not be caught in an era when your grace is absent.

This is a call for all, believers and non-believers, to examine their hearts and repent.

ShalomπŸ™πŸΌ
