My Cup Runneth Over

I truly believe that, in general, people think that those who profess Christ as their personal Lord and savior are stupid. I truly believe that the world thinks that people who believe in Jesus and His Word are stupid, crazy, naive, or all three. The stuff they do to us and say to us, as if we're not paying attention. What the world does not realize is that the Lord is setting them up for their downfall or their success. The Lord is going to bless those who bless us and curse those who curse us. Now saints or children of God don't get big headed. While the Lord is setting up the world for success or failure; God is setting you up for success or failure as well. God chastens those whom He loves. The sun shines on the just as well as the unjust.

We serve a wise and mighty God who is operating and controlling all things according to His purpose, divine will, and pleasure. A day is as a thousand years to God and a thousand years as a day. (2 Peter 3:7-8)

Keep your hope on things eternal.  If our hope is only in this world, then we are like all men, most miserable.  1 Corinthians 15:19.  Don't build up for yourselves treasures that moth and rust doth corrupt but build up those things that are eternal.  

Many reject the gospel because they feel as though they cannot have material possessions or accumulate wealth.  Not true.  It is harder for a rich man to get into heaven than for a camel to get through the eye of a needle. (Matthew 19:24-25) But with God all things are possible.  The bible instructs us to work by the sweat of our brow. To whom much is given much is required. Think.

When a person's life is systematically destroyed, their personal well being attacked; subjugated,  denigrated, exploited, and diminished on a daily basis -- who is the person who loves material things and wealth more? Those who kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10) or the individual whose life is being destroyed because they are focused, working hard and accomplishing goals, while trying to do the right thing?

 

If you believe in Jesus but have not given your life to Christ, accept Him into your heart today.  Christ Jesus, please come into my heart.  Lord Jesus become my personal Lord and Savior.
