Time is short......but eternity is long.................so WHY? Am I wasting it?
I have spent most of my life wasting the little bit of time I have here on this earth with moaning and groaning..................resisting the very things God himself is trying to do in me!
Oh I have had my moments.........with JOY,,,,,,,the kind that's only temporary! But what about a deep abiding JOY that is rooted in God Himself?
Don't you want that? I do! Not only do I want it..............it is mandated in the Bible!
1 Thessalonians 5:16
16 Rejoice always,
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
Psalm 5:11;
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
Psalm 100:2
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
The Proverbs 31 woman I used to think; "pipe dreams," but in reality she knows how to TRUST, how to have FAITH....... She cast her fears upon the Lord.............burdens leave her..........as she lays them at the feet of her heavenly father who loves her!
The Proverbs 31 woman walks through the trials of this life with dignity....................She laughs in pleasure as she thinks about the future. She is FREE from FEAR!
Romans 8:38-39;
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There is NOTHING in this Life that can hurt you or defeat you if you are in CHRIST! Think about the verse above........What was Paul really saying? If we really believe that God LOVES us...........and is for US then who can harm us?
Stand on HIS WORD.......the WORD loved us enough to put on flesh..........and die for us!
CHOOSE FAITH AND JOY..............not fear!
all is well,
Robbie
