well we are six days into this new year
2012. how are you doing? are you making plans for this new year with
GOD’s help or are you presuming about tomorrow, believing you are going to live
forever? i lost one of my very good
friends this past year who was in his 50’s.
don’t take tomorrow for granted.
isaiah 56.12 (niv) , “come”, each one
cries, “…let us drink our fill of beer!
and tomorrow will be like today, or even far better!”
do you know anybody with that kind of
attitude? life is great! let’s party!
Let’s get drunk! bring on the
beer!
the guys who say this have a bumper sticker
on their camel: “it’s party time in
jerusalem!” live it up and have
fun. we’re going to live forever. new york city is built on that philosophy.
but JESUS says that’s a dumb attitude toward
life. you can’t presume that you’re
going to live to be 100. proverbs 27.1
(niv), do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day will bring
forth.
we love to announce our plans, to make our
goals and declare them. next year i’m
going to double my income! next year i’m
going to take over three territories!
announcing a goal can either be a statement of faith or it can be a
statement of arrogance. what makes the
difference?
your motive.
why are you saying what you’re saying?
GOD says it’s great to have goals but check in with ME first. let ME share with you what I think your goals
ought to be. don’t presume on tomorrow.
just a thought from the front porch…
