A single day in your courts is better than a thousand
anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live
the good life in the homes of the wicked. (Psalm 84:10)
I think we are quick to forget that this life is just a moment
and, in this moment, we must live a life for Jesus in as many ways as we can. I
spoke to someone at the gym this morning about death and this life versus the
life to come. Paul said it so nicely “For to me, living means living for
Christ, and dying is even better.”
We live in this world and we become so consumed by this
world and the material part of it that we miss the glory that awaits us in
heaven. We create a foundation of who we are and what we have and how important
we are in life. A lot of us is influenced
by our worldly desires and our need for material things that we continue in a
direction that only causes more pain and more need.
How much do we actually need? There are so much need in the
world, yet people continue to buy what they do not need. We need to make a mind
shift or rather a foundation shift. Build your house on a rock so that the
storms of life cannot break it. My foundation and my house are built on Jesus
Christ. He is the only way and the light of this world. With Him we will never thirst,
and we will not hunger for what we do not need. With Him we can overcome all
the obstacles and challenges that lies ahead and before us.
My heart, my house and my life belong to Jesus. All I pray
for today is that our hearts will break for what breaks His heart. A single day
in the house of the Lord is better than a thousand anywhere else. Live a life
that will build lives and lead them to Jesus. Be generous at heart and help
where you can, because the smallest amount can be blessed to do amazing things.
Have an awesome day.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
Cheers
