Is your life exciting or is it mundane?
Not many of us spend our lives mixing with celebrities and enjoying the material luxuries that this world offers. For most of us life is a simple routine of work, bringing up the family, and a little leisure when we can fit that in. Some people can’t even afford this routine lifestyle, especially if money is short; they have no job or are in poor health.
Compare that to our spiritual life.
Is it barren and completely distant from our Creator? Or do we walk daily hand in hand with Jesus by our side?
How many times during the day do we pray silently, and thank our Lord for all He has done for us?
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew 6:19-20.
You just keep knockin' 'em out of the ball park, Victor. Another excellent lesson in practicing what we profess.
ReplyDeleteBTW, please pray for America? We are approaching a very important election next year. We MUST vote out the Marxists (Democrats) and take our country back to being a practicing Christian country. We're in a real pickle over here. Thanks so much.
Hope your day is blessed. ~:)
Thank you for your kind words, Sparky. Much appreciated.
DeletePraying as your requested. Here in the UK, I fear, Christianity is in retreat as we become ever more secular.
God bless you and yours.
I have been pondering this, Victor, and plan to write on it when I return from my respite. It is all about the relationship---correct, Friend!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
So true, Lulu. Is our Christianity a relationship or a badge that we just wear.
DeleteLooking forwards to your return to Blogland. Your Blog is a beacon shining brightly.
God bless.
Thank you for the reminder, Victor. No matter how many times I thank God for all He has given, it never feels like I can thank Him enough. God Bless you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support and encouragement, Michael. I'm really grateful.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
