The cartoon character Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes once said, “God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I’m so far behind I’ll never die.”
For you as a Christian there are a certain number of things you must accomplish. Remember Jonah who had to go to Nineveh? There were only two ways this could be accomplished. The easy way and the hard way. He chose the hard way. Read the account.
Now, as for you as a Christian, there are two ways to live your life. The easy way and the hard way. Which one will you choose in the new year?
My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of His reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom He loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
Give it some thought and don’t mess with God’s will.
