April 27

There are definitely times that I envy the rich. I just wish I had more money so that I didn’t have to bargain hunt (although I am thrilled when I get a bargain), and shop at different stores to decrease our grocery bill. I just wish I had a few more bucks, like twice as much would be good. Then I could take my wife to Jamaica for our 25th anniversary! I could pay someone to do all the work on the house that I have to do because I don’t have the money for it. Ahh…, then I enter His sanctuary and I gain understanding of the end of the rich, and my end. I would much rather live with my wealth than have millions and have the end of those who have forsaken God in part because of their wealth and blessing. My end is life and isn’t that the most important thing? Terry, stop looking at this life like it is the most important thing – God is most important! Eternity is my future and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this life.

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord." (Psalm 40:1-3, NIV)

I waited – He heard – He lifted – He set – He gave – He put - and now many will see that and put their trust in Him. May I take what He has done in my life and let is shine! I will bring glory to YOU oh Lord, my life is for your glory and is spent bringing you praise.
