A Though for today by Papa “J”
Casting your burdens aside or to the wind is dangerous. You never know when the wind will change direction. Even in the dark you may stumble again over the same stump. Read your Bible and notice that God has a lighter path for you. Psalm 55:22; 119:105 and Philippians 4:6-7.
MORE THOUGHTS
We sometimes reflect on the things in life that are downright scary. You know! Phobias are very real to the people who are affected by them. Bugs, rodents, dark places and a host of other living or dormant objects can and do affect our day. I’ve have heard of some who will only go to and from work a certain way (the long way), just because of a fear of passing a certain place where a tragic event once happened. What to know what I fear? Of course you do! I fear that if you do not know salvation by personal faith in Jesus Christ, that you will die a death that removes you from God for eternity. I fear this for you because God has enlarged my heart with his love, to let you know that there are just two places where you will personally spend eternity. ONE: With Him in the New Jerusalem (Hebrews 11:13-16 and 12:22-24), this truth is explained throughout the Holy Bible. God desires a personal relationship with you. (John 3:10-21) You will not find this truth explained in any other religious document. TWO: Without Him in a place also prepared by God, with just enough room for you to personally dwell there for eternity. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be in a place where God does is not present. The astronaut will tell you that there is room for you and God in space. The submariner will tell you that God is with him in the deepest part of the oceans and the miner will affirm that God is present with him in the deep earth. Here is what one man has to say about hell! Luke 16:19-31. Also, you will not find truth about hell in any other religious document, so don’t waste time looking since you really don’t have time.
Psalm 37:32-36
I have some compassion on churches that refuse to talk about hell and what I find odd is that there are many churches throughout the world, or even closer, like here our nation that refuse to tell their congregation that unsaved sinners are going to end up in eternity in a place where they cannot be found. What did you say? I said: “Cannot be found” Psalm 37:36 what this means is that a person who dies without being biblically saved is ETERNALLY LOST.
Here is a thought to those of us who say we are saved by a personal relationship with Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. John 1:29-34. The unsaved (wicked) person watches you. He or she seeks to slay your testimony. You will be delivered out of this snare because God protects you, so be bold and tell the unsaved of the grace of God. Wait on the LORD and keep His way by living holy lives. This is not optional! The wicked must see the righteousness of Christ through YOU!
The wicked has enough power to make a prosperous way in life, it will even look appealing. Yet this is only a temporal moment, once it is over, it is OVER for them. Someone else will come along and reap the inheritance. Okay, what is wrong with that since it is what the Bible explains. We believers in Christ have an inherited responsibility to live in righteousness in the face of unrighteousness. Ezekiel 18:19-32.
