“…for this is no place to rest…” Mic2.10 ESV
We are given many reasons to live as pilgrims in this world. “Moth and rust doth corrupt…” is one of them. No matter how hard we try to delay it, nothing in this place will survive. It is foolish to build a mansion in what is clearly a campground, yet most of us tie up our time and money paying the mortgage on our possessions and even our physical health. It is poor economics to invest in this place as though you plan to retire here. This is truly no place to rest.
This is not to say that health, money, and possessions have no value. They certainly do but only in so far as we use them for eternal purposes and to insure that when we actually do retire we will have laid up for ourselves treasure in Heaven. I think it is best then to make plans, as they say, “to die with your boots on,” ‘having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace…”1/4/2008
Just me trying to be honest with God.
