Nehemiah 10-11, Isaiah 39, Colossians 2:13-23, 3
What God said to me – You worked hard you whole life and saved and invested so you could retire some day and enjoy the fruits of your labor and not worry about how you are going to get by. Yet in spite of your best-efforts markets can crash, economies can fail, and unforeseen disasters can occur. That’s life – stuff happens that you didn’t count on. So, what are you to do? Start by remembering that you are Mine and you have a future and a hope that are not of this world. Set your mind on things above and not on earthly things. Change your thinking from temporal to eternal – make your focus and your activities centered around things that will last. Stay in My word and spend much time with Me so that your mind is constantly renewed and you don’t lose focus. Whatever you do, do it for Me – for My approval – for My glory knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance that cannot be taken away.
