Matthew 19:21 (NIV) "Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
There are so many times in life where I have found myself in trouble because I lacked just one thing? How about you? Everything was great except I didn't have enough money for college. Not enough money for college changed everything to the point it seemed nothing was great. Other times I had what appeared to be everything a girl could want but, a car. Yes, that was it a car would solve all my problems. Right. Then there were times I had everything but a husband, everything but a child, everything but a house. How many "buts" can you come up with today. Everything would be perfect if I only had _____________.
Matthew 16:26 (NIV) "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"
As I sat down to write this I realized I had everything but my mouse. I could do the Blog but it was going to be a lot harder, take more time and perhaps even cost me not making my deadline. I thought I had everything I needed until I went to get it, to count on it.
What about you today. Do you appear to have everything? There is coming a day when we will see what we have. We will find out what we need. On that day it will be too late to go get what we are missing.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV) "For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
Today I made an assessment of my situation and came up short. I could improvise. On the Day of the Lord we will either have what we need or we won't. There will be no improvising. So, right now I pray you and the Lord have made things right so things....don't go wrong.
Romans 10:9 (NIV) " If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
