Making the best of the mess!!

This is a test and only a test.....
Go and stand in front of a mirror and look at yourself. What do you see? Don't answer aloud to yourself. Every now and then we need to slow down and look at ourselves and lives. Time is something that we can never redeem or get back after it is gone.

We should always be seeking to redeem the time to get the greater value of life everyday. Life is truly what you make out of it. It can be good or bad, we have to make the choice. Look at these facts.
  • We only have one life
  • Nobody can do everything
  • Our wants never will be satisfied

God has appointed man life (time) and he must live it. In (Job 14:14), Job spoke of “All the days of my appointed time”. Job understood that his life, his time, was appointed by God. It could be that you have never considered that your “life time” has been appointed by God.

In our limitedness we must learn how to trust God for everything. Seems there are times when we stray, not lose our love but passion dies and we stray. God has promised to supply every need we have. the Bible says: "But my God Shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ.

The world is trying to make us discontented with our lives and our belongings. It is not uncommon for what we see and hear to be something that looks good; not all that glitters is gold. The Apostle Paul says: "(Phl 4:11) Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.

We can do it! Turn our messing into a blessing.

Struggling with life

Man it is rough out here. Have you ever been in a funk and struggling to find your mojo. We can at times take motivation for granted and not maximize our talents and gifts. Kinda like having money in the bank and not being able to access it. Another picture is like getting a great gift and not using it to your advantage. You see what I am saying. Life is getting the max out of what you have been given. Not trying to do more with what you don't have.

The Bible say that; And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

So ultimately it comes down to our effort, where are we putting our efforts at? Do we struggle to make more with less or do we take what God has Blessed us with and run with that? See the difference, struggle to make something out of nothing or take nothing and make something out of it. God has to be the object of affection and source foundation of what we believe.
