FIND LIFE

Proverbs 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord

Psalms103:15-17 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children.

Job14:1-2 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

1 Peter1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

I started this blog with the above scriptures to remind you that our life is fleeting. When I was young we had a saying “Here today, gone tomorrow” but with age, I have come to realize we are here this second and can be gone in the next one. I have learned we need to be about our Father’s business so that our life on this earth can count for something.

Many of us are thinking about the New Year and those things that we would like to see accomplished. However, in the midst of this, I would like us to remember to prioritize not only our thinking and planning but also our actions.

Many of us have plans for our lives that are not in concert with God’s chosen plan for us. We charge ahead with these plans but God is not in them; therefore, many of us experience failure or a brief moment of success, which causes us to become frustrated and angry. The good news is: this does not have to be our experience in 2018.

So, my prayer for everyone is stated in the first scripture above which is us finding God or experience His presence in everything we do in 2018 for then we will have His favor which will provide us with that which money cannot buy nor our personal success obtain.

May God richly bless you, give you peace, prosper your way and order your footsteps in 2018.
