Missing out????????

Hello friends!! I am working a weird shift for a few weeks, it is 4:30am till 1pm. Yup, that means I have to get up before 3am if I want to do my studies before work. No one ever said staying on the narrow road would be easy! I guess I have to thank God for continually putting me into the forge. Heck, He might even make a good Christian out of me one day. Well, got a question for you. Do you invite people to the party? To church? To hear God's Word. These are a couple of reasons that God has laid on my heart. Let's dig into the good stuff.

Bible verse: Psalm 119:2 "Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart."

I have heard people say that they would get in church one day but, they couldn't right now. They had too many things they wanted to do. Or they were doing things that they weren't ready to give up that they knew were wrong. They believed that if they lived according to God's laws that they were going to miss out on all the fun things in life. Or the things they thought were fun. Man, I must say that when I finally got my hind end into church. Things got better not worse. Boy, isn't that statement missing the mark. Sure, we might have to give up doing certain things, going certain places, being around certain people. But, when we are stronger God may put us right back into those certain places to be a witness. I believe the truth is that if we don't live in according to God's laws, then we are going to miss out! Hey guy's God didn't write these laws for His benefit. He wrote them for ours. God is not this dictator sitting on the throne saying let's see what kind of laws we can make to make their lives harder. God loves us and wants the best for us. I read once that every time God says "Thou shall not," God is simply saying, "Don't hurt yourself." And then whenever God says "Thou shalt," God is saying, "Help yourself to happiness." We should all remember that God has something special for us. We just have to pay attention to Him, so He can show it to us. Let's clear our hearts today and seek Him with everything. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!
