Serious

Have you noticed the busier you are, the thicker into your own agenda & routines, the faster time ticks by? Before we know it another year passes. Are we taking the life we live seriously? Are we treating sin as seriously as we should? We are flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow.

“All flesh is like grass

and all its glory like the flower of grass.

The grass withers,

and the flower falls, 

but the Word of the Lord remains forever" »1 Peter 1:24-25

We are not here forever, but we can take this life so for granted. If God has given us a desire, we know He will fulfill it, and we ought to take each day and give it back to Him. Shall we not offer up the things we hold dear today so He may give them back to us if He so chooses? The choice is up to Him. Let us not take for granted today but offer it up to Him along with our bodies as a living sacrifice. 

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" »Romans 12:1-2

Each day we can worship Him, giving thanks to Him for who He is and what He has done. Yet, the days slip by so quickly and before we know it another day is gone. What have we done to please Him? How are we bringing glory to His Name? Are we treating sin seriously or do we care about pleasing God while we live here? 

"So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him." »2 Corinthians 5:9

What are some ways we can please Him today? If we are His children, shouldn't this be our desire? Let us press on together, seeking How we can please Him today.
