Party On Dude!

“I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’”Luke 12:19-20

One of my favorite movies of the 80’s was ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ starring the now very famous Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter( currently on Broadway together). It was about two misfits who had to time travel with the help of George Carlin in order to pass a history test at San Dimas High School. I know sounds corny but it was a fun movie.

Their famous phrases were “be excellent to each other” and “party on dude”. Now how on earth will I weave this into a Christian devotion? Our world likes to party so to speak or “eat, drink, and be merry” but life doesn’t work that way. There will be good times and not so good times.  

If you have trusted God as your savior and believe in the infallible word of God you will be saved. Don’t get caught up in the world’s idea of success or right versus wrong or you will be on a slippery slope. Keep your eyes on Jesus and believe in Him and the best party ever is awaiting you in Heaven. 

PRAYER: I need to take not fret when things don’t go my way but to trust in the plan God has for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
