And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ Luke 12:19
Parks, playgrounds, and pools is what the sign outside many home developments reads to entice potential home buyers and investors into the luxury of seemingly a no hassle lifestyle. Similar to seeing resorts way out of your price range where everyone is tanned, laughing , and resting on a lounge chair next to the beach.
Mankind was not just meant to eat, drink, and be merry, but to serve others. The generations born since 2000 really may feel entitled to things but that is never what was to be. Problems for many are what my younger son calls ‘First World Problems’ and not any real life threatening life changing catastrophe.
Each day wake up looking to the Heavens and really thank God for life. Ask God to direct you where you can serve others. Your works become smaller and less worrisome when you can do something to build up another life.
PRAYER: The easy road seems to be what Western society depicts for its’ people. That is not reality. Bad stuff can and does happen and it is when my feet are in the fire of life that I see my greatest need for you. I choose to press on realizing there is more to life than sailboats,golf, cool drinks with umbrellas in them, and money. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
