TIME

life glass


"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." ~Ephesians 5:16 ...People die every single day. They say that the ideal human life span is somewhere between 70-80 years but you'll never know when God calls you out of your body suit. The ideal life span is not promised at all as we could be here today and gone tomorrow. Due to the traditions of men, here in the US you have people so invested into their 401Ks and their careers and building a foundation and comfortable living for themselves and their children and children's children. "For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." ~James 4:15 OR you have people who really waste time extremely by being lazy and slothful, lathargic, etc.."Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:" ~Proverbs 6:6

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." ~James 4:14...People should and understand and be aware that we are walking, living, breathing souls and our bodies are just our fleshly suits. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." ~Genesis 3:19 When we die, we are just exiting our body suits and leaving this lifetime and the time limit that is and entering into the next lifetime which has no time; meaning it's eternal. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" ~Hebrews 9:27 In eternity, there are only two destinations. Please don't waste time here on earth but rather redeem the time that God has allotted and blessed you with. Time is a ticking bomb and you never know when your time will be no more. "Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." ~Proverbs 27:1 People die while still as a child, in teenage and young adult years, and also middle aged years. Though our average life expectancy is ranging in the elder years, it is not guranteed whatsoever which is why we ought to life everyday like it is our last. Striving to enter into the kingdom of heaven. "Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." ~Hebrews 4:11 

Most people take time for granted, choosing to do whatever they want then deciding to follow the Lord after they have fulfilled all of their fleshly desires. OR; they'll wait until they're on their death bed to change their ways, trying to get right with God at the last minute. The reality is that not everyone will have a death bed experience. Don't procrastinate or brush it off because you'll never know when your physical death is knocking at the door. Make sure you're right with God. It's very frightening to know that you're at odds with your own very creator. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." ~Hebrews 10:31 ...Get to it NOW! Don't wait because then you just might be one minute too late. "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." ~Luke 12:40 "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time." ~Colossians 4:5 "For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." ~James 15 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" ~1Peter 5:8
