FOCUS ON GOOD AND NOT EVIL!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Don’t worry about the wicked. Don’t envy those who do wrong. ” Psalm 37:1 (NLT)

“No good thing will the Lord withhold from those who do what is right. O Lord Almighty, happy are those who trust in you.” Psalm 84: 11 & 12 (NLT)

TODAY’S MESSAGE: We are not to be concerned about the things of evil in this world. We are not to be concerned about the things of the rich and the famous. They live lives that are powerful and successful with the things of this world, but many of them have sold out and have put aside the reality of Jesus and the eternal life with Him. We are to focus on the good and not the evil. We may not have the money that the rich and famous have. We may not drive the fancy cars they drive. However, we have something they will long for in the future. We have the safety of our God in Heaven. We have the certainty that we will live with our loving God forever in eternity. This life on this earth is nothing more than temporary. Our riches on this earth will do nothing but become arguing points for our family members left behind. Our riches in this life will fade away in time when we are gone. What matters is that we plan our future for the next life. Our next residence is forever. We will spend it in one of two places. We will either sell out to possibly have a great and promising life in the now and go to hell for eternity or we will choose Jesus, who is our savior, healer and forgiver. We will live our lives here on this earth knowing that we are rich and famous because we have been chosen by our Lord for residence in heaven itself. We are not to worry about the wicked and what they get away with. Instead, we are to focus on Jesus and what he wants us to do. We are to focus on his Word, his promises and his offer of salvation. Thank you, Jesus, for the love, the sacrifice and the forgiveness we so desperately need. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
