Saturday Writing by Carol Steficek......1/28/17

Good Morning

Today's writing is from the pen of Carol Steficek who titles her work, "PILGRIMS ON EARTH." Her theme though not stated in these words is that there is no guarantee of how much time we have and thus we are not really permanent residents of the earth but pilgrims just here on our way to eternity. Carol wrote, "Two thieves on the cross were confronted by His presence.  One rejected Him, the other believed in Him.  That one moment in time was all they had."

Praying that you will have an amazing day today. Two minutes watching the news will tell you that prayer is really needed in this country. PRAY

God bless

Today's Devotional

"PILGRIMS ON EARTH"

"And they admitted that

 they were aliens and strangers on earth." 

Hebrews 11:13b

    

     Hebrews chapter 11 is the great "faith" chapter in the Bible.  It defines faith and also talks about many of the Bible characters who knew they had no permanent dwelling place on this earth but rather were looking for the promise of eternal life with God.

     Do we become so busy with daily life that we fail to have an eternal perspective?

    Prescott, Arizona recently lost 19 firefighters in a tragic incident.  The men and women ranged in age from 21 to 43 yeas old -- young by anyone's standards.  Just like others who die in tragic accidents, everyone expects to come home to their families every evening.  No one expects life to be suddenly cut short.

     

      We have no guarantee about tomorrow.  We need to live every day with a view of eternity. You might not have tomorrow to change your mind about Jesus.  Two thieves on the cross were confronted by His presence.  One rejected Him, the other believed in Him.  That one moment in time was all they had.

     

     

     If you don't have a relationship with the Lord of Life, say a prayer right now to Jesus.  He will forgive your sins, and fill you with His presence.  You may not have tomorrow to decide.
