Our Blinders.........

Bible Verse: 1 John 2:17 - "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

What's up guy's and gal's? We just got back from a refreshing weekend in the mountains. Misty and I got away for some mommy and daddy time. It was great! That brings me to today's topic. We met a woman named Cathy and her daughter Grace at the IHOP. We noticed her struggling with something and stayed and talked/ministered with her and Grace for hours. When we left I realized that she was ministering to us to. We run through each day so fast working to make a buck, needing that new 60 inch LCD TV to hang on the wall, or just doing the daily "things" that we sometimes miss the big picture. We have blinders on. It is time we take them off and look around.

Bible Verse: 1 John 2:17 - "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

Do you want to know how rich you are? Add up everything you own that money cannot buy, that neither death nor disaster can take away, and then you'll know just how rich you are. What did you discover? Hopefully, you discovered that it's time you started laying up true riches, because all the rest will burn away. One day, this sometimes evil world well most of the time evil world will end as we know it. This should give you the courage to deny yourself those temporary pleasures. If you are putting all of your labor in this world, it's like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship or building on to a house full of termites with no exterminator available. It is just a matter of time.

In Matthew 6:19-21 Jesus say's "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Where is your heart? Where is your treasure? Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
