I don't think I will answer those questions from yesterday. Did anyone do any thinking? What I would like is for you to pray and ask God to give you the answers. They are important, very important, they determine your perspective on life. And perspective is everything. It is so easy to get bogged down in the every day challenges of life and not be able to see any farther than your current situation. It's times like this when we have got to take a minute and look up, ask ourselves these questions and get a view of the big picture. It's so easy to forget, that's why Romans 12:2 says to "be ye transformed by the continual renewing of your mind." The Bible compares the Word of God to water. We have to continually wash our minds with the water of the Word! The mind gets all clogged up and bogged down. It gets cloudy, muddy, and dirty from the things of the world. The only way to take care of this problem is the continual renewal of the mind with the water of the Word! I don't just mean once or twice a week at church! I mean daily, sometimes several times daily! This is a life or death matter. It's a matter of living victoriously or not! So get some good Christian Cd's ( I love Joyce Meyer, Beth Moore, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis), get some good Christian books, pray, go to church, get out your Bible! I can't emphasize it enough, without renewing our minds we just can't have the right perspective. Why are we here? It's not to get wealth or fame or hoard possessions! You can't take any of that with you to Heaven! That's not why we are here. We are here so other people have the chance to avoid hell, to join the family of God. I believe God wants us prosperous to spread His gospel but not to fulfill the lust of our flesh. We are not to seek after riches, we are to seek after God! Oops, I think I answered one of the questions. :)
Be blessed today! Renew your mind! It's not a chore, it's a priveledge and an honor. It's exciting!
