100 Years From Today

Empty your basket

A basket can only hold so many things. If a basket is full we must remove something to place another item into the basket. Our daily schedules are just like a basket. Most times our days are filled with so many activities that we can’t fit a prayer time into our day. We must remove those things that distract us. We may need to remove certain T.V. programs, hobbies, or even some sleep, to fit Bible Study and prayer time into our day. Unfortunately, when new opportunities come our way, we are tempted to remove the things that have eternal value. Don’t sacrifice the best for the good.

What Will Really Matter?

In 100 years from now, what will really matter? The cars we drove and the houses we decorated will be inconsequential. Jesus said, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” Have we allowed God to “create a clean heart within us?” Are we sharing the Good News Jesus taught? Give God the best.

Great reminder for a person like myself who loves to accumulate "stuff" to fill my life.
