Wealth

The older we get the more we realize just how much stuff has been accumulated over the years. Considering the clothing that hangs in our closet, we probably only regularly use ten percent of it.

However, there is something we should be accumulating as the years rush by and that is a wealth of Scripture.

Psalm 119:11

“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” 

If you are lacking in this area, don’t fret because there is still time. Remember this is one of the few things you can take with you when you leave the planet.

Think about it.

In Charge

Now politicians have an important place in our culture and are necessary. However, when you get to know the King of kings, they diminish in importance.  The one who is really in charge of all things should have all our attention.

1 Timothy 1:17

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Be a good citizen and vote, but always remember your allegiance belongs to the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

Think about it.

Timing

I awakened last night and looked at the clock.  The digital reading on the clock read 12:30. It looked like daylight was presenting itself. I was confused. The reality was the electrical power had been interrupted and the clock lost its proper time.

Timing was off.

God speaks of proper timing.

Revelation 1:3

 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Do you know what time it is?

Think about it.

What’s Wrong?

How can you try and figure out what is wrong with people when you honestly can’t understand what is wrong with you? Who am I? How did I get here? Where am I going?

There is One who understands us completely and is willing to take on our case.  He has millenniums of years of proven success in cases such as yours.

Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Have your records transferred over to Him.

Give it some thought.

Priority

Money sure can come in handy, and you sure can’t live without it. However, something that is much more important is the wisdom that comes from the Word of God. In order to navigate in the days ahead, you certainly need this wisdom.

Proverbs 16:16

How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Let God have a priority over gold.

Think about it.

The Human Body

Human physiology is the study of how the human body functions. This includes the mechanical, physical, bioelectrical, and biochemical functions of humans in good health, from organs to the cells of which they are composed. The human body consists of many interacting systems of organs.

It certainly takes a lot more faith to believe we evolved from a single organism than to believe we were created by God.

Acts 17:29

Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.

Whether you like it or not, God is totally responsible for your being here.

Why not try and get to know Him.

Give it some thought.

His Eye

Did you ever have a teacher or someone in a position of authority that you felt could see right through you? He or she seemed to know exactly what you were thinking.

God desires to direct us with His eye.

You have to get close and pay attention for that to happen.

Psalms 32:8-9

 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.

Open your Bible today and look into His eyes for some truly Divine direction.

Give it some thought.
