The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. — 1 John 2:17
So much of what we pursue is fleeting. Once we acquire it, we have to try to preserve it because we know it will soon be gone. God has promised us that just as he is eternal and will live forever, so also are those who pursue a relationship with him and are committed to do his will. So let's sit down and look at how we spend our time, our money, and our efforts and ask if what we are pursuing is really something that is worth having. Then let's ask one more important question: "Even if it is worth having, is it going to last long enough to make a difference?"
Mire
Psalm 40:2
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
Isaiah 57:20
But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
which cannot rest,
whose waves cast up mire and mud.
Remember:
Remember that the Lord is always righteous in His judgement. Know that judgement is the fruit of sin and rebellion.
Teach your children Praise
Psalm 145:4
One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.
Lamentations:
The Road To Renewal 5:21
. Sin ... Suffering 1:8
. Sorrow ... Repentance 1:20
. Prayer ... Hope 3:19-24
. Faith ... Restoration 5:21
