Before you read on, take a few minutes to listen to this song. Sorry you will have to withstand a 30 second commercial before you hear it.

For it is written: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Matthew 7:25 NIV
It is also written: "There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NIV
Life throws many things at us and there is a lot of unpredictability. With Jesus in your life these problems are not just your anymore. For the Lord tells us: "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 NIV
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 NIV
In conclusion LIVE LIFE, for you don't know what tomorrow will bring. I am not saying that it is wise to not be prepared, savings is always a good thing, but, understand that the Lord will not give you more than you can handle. Try to find the most of every opportunity. "Making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." Ephesians 2:16 NIV

LIFE - the most precious gift that the Lord could give us. Just imagine - once we did not exist now we will exist for eternity.... woW - I get so excited I even say it backwards...Wow. If you think this is exciting wait...
ReplyDelete1 Corinthians 2:9 "However, as it is written: 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard,no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.'"
Pipere..I'm just as excited. One thing I can say that I've always remembered you telling me was to "get excited for eternity", ive always thought of it as "life here on earth is just a small piece of our journey and doesn't nearly compare to what we all share one day in eternity."
