Good morning! How are we faithing this fine day? " We were nekid when we came into this world and we'll be nekid when we leave." Why oh why do we get so wrapped up in acquiring stuff to the detriment of our very souls? Hey man, I like a fast car, a cool guitar and a warm house like the next guy but are we striving after the wind like Solomon said? Are we wasting our youth on acquiring junk to make our life easier so as we get older we can get out of shape and give everything to a hospital or nursing home? Are we working so much we neglect our kids and the correct raising of them or are we reaching for the "American dream" to the detriment of the next generation? We all need to sit back and listen to that small still voice of God who is always present and always loves us. We need to search scripture for answers in everything we do. All the principles of life are indeed contained within. Don't think your situation has ever been dealt with? Get over yourself man, nothing is new under this sun in the sky. Think having to drive that 86 Cavalier clunker to work is a pain as you see that new Lexus fly by, is that any different than the old farmer in an ox cart watching a Chariot with 2 fast horses pass him? Think the same feeling was present? Of course it was. People remain the same, our stuff changes and the Word tells us all this stuff will be burned up in the end and the only thing that lasts is us, salvation accepted or not. When you catch yourself in "woe is me" or "why'd this happen to me?' you better step back and look at the real issue at hand and not just at your immediate displeasure....
2Pe 3:10-16
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness,
looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;
as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
remember Anne C...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love for a lot like us. Lord we lay our burdens at your feet and ask for help with our selfish untrusting hearts. Help us see truth and see the folly of our striving after things that are going away anyways. Help us see the importance and the unimportance of stuff. Lord, we lift those who are sick toady. Your Word tells us that when we believe, know, your promises are true, we can ask and know it is done. Lord increase our faith. Help us see needs and help us see the heart you see. In Jesus name, amen
