Day 6 my write up

 

You now when I read that I was like okay let me think

okay my life maybe 60- 70 years if I am blessed to eternity - yeah Life on earth is temporary

 

Like a top off some where kinda like what I am going through now dealing with hotels and traveling till I get to my final resting grounds on earth... Scotland ..... yeah I see it now...

 

I laughed whne I made the green card.. it was inspired by what Rick wrote.. and yeah I loved the comments but it is true we are (those who chose Jesus Christ) are Heaven Residents I became one December 3 2003

 

Think I will have mine printed out and lamentated (May offer it to those that want it... I enjoyed making it...

 

you know I read that part about spiritual adultery when you want material stuff and I looked at what I have   my laptop and two suitcases.... and me.. right now.. rest is in Scotland.. and if I was to lose any of it yeah I would be crushed... but losing my faith suprecedes them any day....

 

thought it was neat how it talked about being ambassodors for Christ but for that it talked bout being in your country then going to another country to represent your country

 

that is how we are here on earth so we are not to love this (country - earth) more then our country - Heaven Amen!!!

 

Question to consider - how should the fact life on earth is temorary assignment change the way I am living right now?

 

Well for one

 

1.Stop wanting to live for ppl - lol - live for God

2. stop wanting everything, I am a pack rat - my word the boxed that I shipped to Scotland .... lol

3. be stewards of the word..... now that means ???????

spread the word

read the word

be the word - in other words (shine the LIGHT)

 

Father thanks for your word and your enlightenment.. your precious name amen

sorry I forgot to post this way back.. trying to catch up ,.. I realized that I have not wrote up my write ups for lesson 4 and others and need to do the devotion for 12 I am getting there lol

Day 6-- Life is a Temporary Assignment

To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached. Ask God to help you see life on earth as he sees it. David prayed, "Lord, help me to realize how brief my time on earth will be. Help me to know that I am here for but a moment more."

In order to keep us from becoming too attached to earth, God allows us to feel a significant amount of discontent and dissatisfaction in life--longings that will never be fulfilled on this side of eternity. We're not completely happy here because we're not supposed to be! Earth is not our final home; we were created for something much better.

In God's eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat this life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity. Your time on earth is not the complete story of your life. You must wait until heaven for the rest of the chapters. It takes faith to live on earth as a foreigner.

When life gets tough, when you're overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet. At death you won't leave home--you'll go home.
