Live to Live Free

We live in tough times. It seems the affordability of everyday needs are a struggle to purchase. Filling up the gas tank takes most of a hundred dollar bill. The coffee shop chatter focuses on the economy. War. Healthcare. And/or politics.

We want solutions!

Solutions? To what?: Gas prices? War? Healthcare?

Gas prices may never get back to the prices of the 70’s, wars may never cease, and healthcare may continue to rise in cost. We may hire and fire Presidents every four years in order to find the one that will BEST serve our needs and wants.

No matter how tough life gets, God wants his children to behave in a way that demonstrates our relationship with Him. God is always working out the details and setting into motion what is best for us. We have the responsibility to trust him through it and allow him to do what he is supposed to do.

Our earthy life is temporary. We must make the best of our situation so that we can stay focused on the next stage of our life, the eternal one. It is hard to stay focused when there is so much turmoil. It is hard to be focused when the bills aren’t getting paid, no gas to get to work, daughter is serving her country in a war zone, or a spouse is battling an illness.

In our tough times, it is important how we keep ourselves focused. Life is not about cheaper gas prices, lower healthcare cost or a warless world, but rather, keeping focused on the most important event in life; Jesus’ return.

Jesus’ return will make way for relief. Burden’s lifted. Health restored. Wars stopped. In our earthly life, we live for the moment to live free.

Jesus said, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.” (John 8:1&3)

God knows you by name. He hears you loud and clear! He is working on all the details to make a better life for you. When it’s all completed, you will get a comfortable, stress-free, disease-free, war-free, financially-free place to live for all eternity.

Trust!

Remember, Be God Controlled!
