Have any of you ever thought about the big trade off?? You know....the one where one must decide what current stage of life in which one lives. Am I young...? Am I still waiting for dreams and hopes to come alive with great expectations? Are there many adventures left for me? LOL...are my disneyland days over??? Interestingly, we seem to think that we understand time and that we are qualified to make any of these judgements....!!!! I was one of those misled souls this morning...is it over for me? Should I just stop dreaming and knit?
Disclaimer: Now, knitting is a real art and if you knit then you just keep on knitting...as some of you are living the dream in doing so...!!
However, I'm referring to those of us who dream big and then wary in the waiting...deciding falsely perhaps that it's time to retire...kick the bucket...knit!! In Fact, God's calling...Jesus is Calling...the Holy Spirit is wooing us and we are listening to time and not to Eternity!!
Principle: When you think you have run out of time, you've run away from the sublime!!
Consider Ecclesiastes 3:9-14,
9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden (Yes, we have burdens that are good from God) God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
Wow! If everything God does is good and everything He does lasts forever...then maybe today we should simply get on our knees and ask Him..."God, what are you doing that I might be a part of it today?" Yes, the Now is very relevant as long as it is part of God's eternity!! Are your burdens set in time..? Or are they reminiscient of God's will for His eternal plans...? Don't quit...don't give up...just give it all up for something greater..something eternal!! If you are kind of running around today wondering who you are and where you belong...Listen to this video....you belong..in His arms...He's the one who made you and He's the one who holds you...!!
