"Some day will be the last day".....but in the meantime lets be sure to remember that it is enormously important that we not waste the days we have left..."Don't waste your life!" We have the glorious privilege of being part of God's global search for people who will repent, believe in Jesus and live in such a way as to be pleasing to Him. That means that we trust what He says about the fact that He will never leave us, and that our part is by faith to be continuously controlled by His indwelling Holy Spirit. "Christ IS our life. His grace IS sufficient for us. We have everything we need for life and godliness." Hey..do we believe this??
These things are light years ahead of the superbowl in importance! Our whole society is ga-ga this week over the parties and hooopla and hype. Stuff like what bars and 'parties' the 'celebrities' are attending. Pathetic.
The game will be fun (in my opinion) but the commercials will not, promoting mostly alcohol.....with the enormous hypocrisy of the statement at the end "Drink Responsibly." Am I being too negative here?
Well, I do suggest putting in plenty of supplies....not food and drink, but stoke up on truth, and wisdom, and goodies from God's Word...so that post-game, you will have good things in your vat on which to meaningfully meditate. And then you will have some good stuff to share with others.
Most of us are at least at "half-time" in life's journey. What do football teams do at half-time? They concentrate on how to do things better in the second half. Would that not be a good idea for us?!
