2-18-08 DAILY BLUEPRINT:
Can't take it with you....
Ecclesiastes 5:15
We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty handed as the day we were born. We can't take our riches with us!
No matter you name - your age - your income - we all we face death one day - that is unless Jesus comes to take us home before that - if He does not - we will have to physically die - its just a matter of time - that may be a depressing thought -but its honest- the longer we live -the more people we know will leave this place -Just this past week one of my best friend's lost his Mother - she had some surgery and her body was too weak to fight to stay alive and she lost the battle - it was sad but to know that she is no longer in pain makes it a little better- with this example it just shows us none of us is guaranteed a tomorrow - or even another second for that matter. With these facts in my head - its funny to see what we work for -all we strive for - the possessions we have - the money we earn - its all going to be left here - not that having money or things is bad - but when its our whole life -its not enough, we must give our lives to something more - if its only to gain -we have missed the whole point - its not for our gain but to praise God with our lives - what do you have that was not given to us - many times we think we are entitled to what we have - that we want to play the game that if God loves us He will give us what we want - the truth of the matter is we all deserve to die in our sins - but praise the LORD that JESUS came and willing died for our sins to open heaven to us - Ive heard it said that you don't ever see a hoarse with a luggage rack -that's because we cannot take it with us - we come into the world with nothing and we will leave the same way - we are just passing through -what are you doing with your dash- the moments between our date of birth and our earthly death? Lets live every moment for our Savior and King!
a side note: All we have when we leave this place is our spirit - and its going one of two places - were are you reservations?
Through CHRIST though we die - we live on forever!
