Live Life For What it is Instead of How you Make it
In life the best thing to have in your life is Christ Jesus. And to live day by day with the good Lord is up to you. Each day of our lives people are fast to jump out of bed throw there clothes on and start the day like every other day. Its like playing cat and mouse with your life.
One day there was a cat and a mouse running around the world chasing each other when suddenly an accident happens and both the cat and mouse die. When they died they went to Heaven. As they walked up to the gate they seen Saint Peter. Saint peter said his welcomes to them told them life here will be much better as he opened the gate for them. A few weeks the mouse ran into Saint Peter. St. Peter asks the mouse how he likes it up in heaven; The mouse replies it is so nice and awesome, more than I ever imagained. But he asked St. Peter for one request. St Peter replies to what can I do for you? The mouse replies I sure could use some roller skates, this place is so big, and Id like to see more of the land up here. St. Peter granted the wish and the mouse rolled off. A few weeks later St. Peter ran into the cat. He asks the cat how he likes Heaven? The cat replies i love it. Its so big and roomy and just when I thought it could'nt get any better until I ran into the meals on wheels.........
Ok seriously Each day when we wake we should be thinking the Great Lord for the Day he has given us, For the means to wake up that morning and start the day.
For the BIBLE has Plans For us each and every day. Things that happen in our life happen for a reason; reasons we can not answere for, but he can. Let me relate to this. Just last week I went to help a friend out in another county. when I left up there I felt really good for the Lord letting me help a friend out, but guess what happened. I ran out of gas about 3 miles from my home. Now what does this have to do with the devotional? Why did I run out of gas? I ran out of gas because I neglected to ask the Lord to see it fit for me to make it home.
It states all over the Bible ask and ye shall recieve.
Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
There are many many others in the Bible to reference from.
Why is it so easy for people to live day to day talking to everyone and taking about everyone. But when it comes to talking about or to our Lord and Savior it is all hush hush like its a sin. FYI folks you should feel as if the Lord is our brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son, friend, and on and on. Do not be ashamed to speak to the Lord.
When you look back upon this place we live there are so many things that just seem so perfect. There are birds flying in the sky, its almost like they do not have a care in the world and there at peace. Look down that stream over there the fish are just swimming along happy and free. Wait down over the hill what is it I see why it’s a mama rabbit with her baby’s just hopping around the field just having them a good ole time..
Now looking at all those creatures God made the world seems so perfect don’t it. Turn around look at yourself in this place where you live. Bills you can not pay, your automobiles broken down yet you don’t have money to fix them. The economy is messed up there is smog in the air; brothers fighting with brothers. Is this how God intended the world to be? I don’t think so. With everything that’s went on or is going on in your life how can a person survive?
I know the God I serve is a forgiving God and he will not put to much in our laps we can not handle; even though at times we feel defeated we can not let that get us discouraged. For the devil is working his hardest to get us down, when he gets us down use that down to Pray to God. Ask and ye shall receive. Knock and the door be opened.
