To Everything There Is A Season

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” | Jeremiah 29: 11

Do you know what that expected end is, mentioned in Jeremiah, beloved?

The answer is found in Jude chapter 1 verse 24— “Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.” Our Lord finished the work of our salvation, and in the covenant of God’s eternal grace, we have always been in His view and His joy, that of presenting us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy! Beloved, look unto JESUS, the author and finisher of our faith! The alpha and the omega of our salvation, Christ Jesus the Lord, who, “for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12: 2).

He has you and me in view, beloved!

We are the joy set before Him; that glorious day when He will give us, all of His beloved people, an expected end.

And He condescends to tells us what it is, beloved, that, “whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:15).

AMEN!

Some Things Are Not Worth It

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” | Ephesians 5: 15-21

There are many ways to waste precious time other than by evil living.

There are books not worth reading.

There are television not worth watching.

There are thoughts not worth thinking.

There are places not worth going.

There are games not worth playing.

There are buildings not worth building.

There are wars not worth fighting.

There are victories not worth winning.

There are songs not worth singing.

There are appointments not worth keeping.

There is pain not worth causing.

There are enemies not worth hating.

There are prayers not worth praying.

There are sermons not worth preaching.

There are lessons not worth learning.

There are friends not worth making.
