Quicksand

And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.Mark 4:19

I love watching old Westerns and a thing that pops up occasionally is a person getting stuck in quicksand and almost dying. There also can be quicksand of sorts in your spiritual life if you allow the ‘cares of this present world’ to consume you.  

This world is NOT your final home. It is so easy to get caught up in the activities and day to day business of living life here and totally become oblivious to the fact when death comes, and it will, are you excited or scared? 

Decide right now you will not get stuck in the quicksand of worldliness that lures you away from your walk with the Lord. It says in scripture that you are like a vapor (James 4:14, New Testament) meaning poof you will be outta here someday. Start now making inroads to getting closer to the Lord and less in love with the things of the world. 

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for the beauty of your creation and the talents and skills you blessed many with to create things to enjoy while on Earth. Help me not get caught up in forgetting to give you all the glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
