Saturday Writing..."FADING AWAY"........7/8/17

Good morning,

Today'a writing by Carol Steficek actually speaks of getting older with sullied ideas of the importance youth and attractiveness while in actuality we are all aging...which she calls "fading away." She reminds people that it is paramount that they bring God into the process. Carol wrote, "Don't fade before you are refreshed and enlivened by the living Word of God.  Come away with God now while you can."

No matter how busy you are or taken up by lots of interest. be sure to bring the information God offers that will help you to live forever.

God bless,

Carol and Corinne

"FADING AWAY"

"For, 

All men are like grass, and all their glory 

is like the flowers of the field; 

the grass withers and the flowers fall, 

but the word of the Lord stands forever.'"

I Peter 1:24-25

    

     

     This society is obsessed with youth.  Everyone wants to look, feel, and act younger than their age.  This isn't inherently wrong unless a person focuses so much on this that they push everything else aside to attain the goal of enduring youth.

     

     Every day we get up, like it or not, we are one day older.  No matter what we do, we all grow old.  Many people focus on living for today and put God on hold.  He is someone they can think about at a later date -- when they have time or nothing else to do, or are so old that God is an acceptable alternative.

     The problem is, we don't know what stage we'll be in when we finally come to God.  Will our minds and spirits be sharp enough to comprehend His Word?  Will we even be able to see to read the Bible or a devotional book?  Will we be strong enough to get to church?

     

Our mortal bodies age and fade away.  What if you are cut down in your prime when you thought you had many more years to flower?  What if you die before making a commitment to Christ?

     

     

The Word of the Lord is very specific when it says that Jesus is the only Way to the Father.  Generations have come and gone, most to never be remembered, but the Word of the Lord still abides.  Don't fade before you are refreshed and enlivened by the living Word of God.  Come away with God now while you can.
