There’s No Such Thing As A Typical Day!
Most days, we have plans, something to do, somewhere to go, people to see, to share time with, and things to accomplish. If this describes you, well then, welcome to the world of being a human. Typically, we are busy people. We are either participating in something, reflecting upon an event or a conversation we just experienced, or preparing for an upcoming calendar plan that we have scheduled.
Again, if you are reading and thinking, “Yeah, that sounds much like me,” then that proves you are alive and living this thing we like to call—LIFE. So, on this day we like to call “typical,” it is important for us to ask ourselves a few questions:
- Where do I stand on this “faith” thing?
- Do I believe in a “higher power” or do I choose to believe in “nothing”?
- Do I hang out with friends and family who believe, and even though I don’t really understand their passion for God, I think it’s kind of neat to trust that much in something they cannot really see?
- If there really is a God, does He love all people equally?
- If God really did send His Son—this man named Jesus—How can I know for sure this is the right thing to believe?
- My life is going pretty well, just as it is, so why do I need to add this “religious thing” to my life; why can’t I just continue as I am living because as you can see, life is going pretty good for me?
- If I did want to meet this JESUS, how is that even possible?
Life Questions.
These life questions are so overwhelmingly important, ones that must be answered to truly—
EXPERIENCE LIFE—NOW!
And EXPERIENCE LIFE—TOMORROW!
And EXPERIENCE LIFE—FOR ALL THE TOMORROWS of OUR LIVES!
And FOR OUR ETERNITY!
Yes, there is an eternity!
Yes, our life was not created to only be born, to live, and to die—there is an afterlife, an eternal existence, and where we spend our eternity is totally up to whether we choose to believe—or—not to believe.
One Decision.
One Choice.
One God—the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.
One!
One moment of decision & then a lifetime of Believing, of Accepting, & of Confessing Him as our Savior, our God, and our Redeemer.
A Lifetime of Walking with the Master Teacher.
A Lifetime of Being Led by the Holy Spirit of God.
A Lifetime of Following God.
A Lifetime of Learning about this One we call “Father God.”
Therefore, our life REALLY DOES MATTER MORE than just what our calendar plans have scheduled for our day.
Thus, our life REALLY DOES MATTER MORE than just what family journeys we have planned for our summer and for our year.
Consequently, our life REALLY DOES MATTER MORE than just what life we live while topsoil, walking, breathing, and living within this brief time we will live here on earth.
This is the truth.
The questions we need to really ponder are vital to our eternity:
- Where do I stand on this “faith” thing? &
- Do I believe in a “higher power” or do I choose to believe in “nothing”? &
- If God really did send His Son—this man named Jesus—How can I know for sure this is the right thing to believe? &
- If I did want to meet this JESUS, how is that even possible?
- These are answerable questions; yes, that is right—totally answerable.
- These questions can be answered alone—just the person and God.
- These questions can also be answered with the help of another—one who already believes—a Christian, someone like me & (I pray) someone like you..
From the moment of our belief, we are endowed, “sealed” with the indwelling presence of God’s Holy Spirit who leads us, guides our daily walk, teaches us, and gives us the very words we need to say when someone is ready to meet Jesus.
So, I wonder—
- Are we striving every single day to have a gospel conversation with someone who does not yet believe? &
- Are we striving every single day to disciple believers, to walk alongside them in fellowship, gentleness, compassion, and love?
- Are we striving every single day to encourage other believers to live for Jesus?
- Are we saved—a Christian with a passion for witnessing?
- Are we sharing time each day with our Father God, studying His Word, praying, and seeking His will for our today?
- Are we fully following God, wholeheartedly?—OR—Are we saved and just living in a “maintaining-kind-of-mode” that will keep us until our arrival day in heaven?
- How are we doing with our own “faith walk”?
“Oh Your Love, LORD, will Never Run Dry.”
Sarah Pemberton & Tim Brown sing this melody—“Never Run Dry,” and the lyrics remind us how the living water of our LORD will forevermore remain, never-ending, enduring, and life-sustaining. Listen to this beautiful melody as this one day unfolds & be blessed.
- There’s No Such Thing As A Typical Day!
- There are so many who do not yet believe in God!
- There are so many who are living, but not really—LIVING!
- There are so many who need to meet the Savior!
- There are so many who are walking through this life—DEAD!
- There are so many who need JESUS!
The apostle John wrote to help us hold onto the promise of God—Eternal Life.
Please See With Me God’s Word.
“But you have an anointing from the Holy One [the Holy Spirit of God], and you all know.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
This is the antichrist, the one who denies—the Father and the Son.
Whoever denies the Son—does not have the Father;
the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.”
(1 John 2: 20-25)
