Hello my Darling Steemians. I know your day was great and you are all glowing. I came across something that struck my imagination today. It's as if I haven't read this Bible before because I got another version of these verses of the Bible. The topic of our daily devotional made me understand that this our God is not just after our spiritual growth/ manifestation but also interested we balance it with physical/psychological well-being.
You know, some of us over emphasize this heavenly race that we 'spirituatize' everything. Sorry to say, but some see 'enjoyment' as worldly and that he/she who want to make heaven should not engage or participate on merry-making activities. But please, would you mind taking a little of your time to study this day's commentary.
Now I see that I need to pray for abundant resources for my family so we can enjoy what we can in this Earth even as we are preparing for our heavenly home when we depart from this world.
My Dearie, there's nothing worldly in
- taking your family for a vacation abroad if you can afford it
- going on a shopping spree if you can afford it
- going for picnics
- creating fun at recreation centers
- Eating out when you can
- celebrating birthdays, anniversaries
Etc.
This life is too short... in fact, your portion in this world is the things you enjoyed/partook in; no relationship in heaven!
Doing all these, don't forget the
Needy
Orphans
Widows/widowers
Oppressed
Sick and the likes
Do not be their oppressor for they have a God that fights for them.
I take solace in the first two lines of the 2nd and last paragraph of the commentary...
to enjoy life to the fullest, we need a mindset that appreciates the need for enjoying this life and not just being religiously monkish
As a matter of fact, go through the last paragraph again and you will understand that God has a better plan for mankind as far as wellness check is concerned. Hallelujah!
problems don't finish actually
As His convenant children, He helps us to keep our part of the convenant because surely He does His.
In conclusion, I covet the controlling thought and the prayer...what says you?
Celebrating our son's birthday.
Life is indeed too short my sister and that’s the irony of life. Another irony of life is that the good die faster than the bad ones. But anyone, we should tie to sstraighten our paths
