SCRIPTURE: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor, and power. For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It doesn’t matter who is happy with you, if God is not happy with you, you are living at a loss.
It has been confirmed that one of the easiest things to do in life is to waste a lifetime.
One day, a man who was around 40 years of age at the time, was dying of kidney disease, so he gave his son an admonition.
He said to his son, “I have spent almost 40 years trying to find out what life is all about. And when I thought I have found out, I realize there is no more time to live. But you, my son, you have time. So, make up your mind to live well and fulfil the purpose for your life.” (Paraphrased).
You see, when this man thought he knew what it meant to live, he had no time to live anymore.
Now, one way to live to make your life profitable on earth is to live in relationship with your Creator, the Almighty God.
Living in relationship with your Creator is living profitably; living in relationship with your creator is living to please Him.
Revelation 4:11 says,
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor, and power. For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
The truth is, it doesn’t matter who is happy with you, if God is not happy with you, you are living at a loss.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to live in relationship with your Creator; live to please God who created you.
Remember this: It doesn’t matter who is happy with you, if God is not happy with you, you are living at a loss.

QUOTE: It is wisdom to find out what you are looking for in life; what God wants to do with your life; what will take you to your desired destination fast, and direct your energies there. The first of such activities, I believe, is your relationship with God – the time given to prayer and the study of the Word. Culled from the book, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.
