Making the Most of Life

Ps.5:11-12Let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy because Thou defendest them: Let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee.For Thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous: with favour wilt thou compass Him as with a shield. ***There are few things which make life as meaningless, as selfishness.Small wonder then thatchallenge and cheer every choice we makeevery day.***Our gains and blessings are never given to pocket, but to share.How prone human nature is to self-indulgence,rather than recognizing where there is added blessingthere is added responsibility to bless and give... ***When we are tempted to hide the 'talent' in the earthwhether of money or spiritual giftsto protect it from failure and losslet us pray to the Giver for helpto trust Him more. ***When, with what we are given, we seek first the kingdom of God,by honouring the Giver, then success is guaranteed,far beyond what the naked eye can behold! *** Recently I purchased a little book(so I would qualify for free shipping from Amazon) 😀 It is a beautiful vault of godly wisdom and exhortation! (and the above excerpts are just the first few paragraphs!!) Our greatest understanding cannot comprehend God's waysLord, let it be enough for me to trust Thee all my days How brief, accumulation's lease; the treasures we accrueWhere, how/how where, we concentrate life's wealth is up to me and you How holy is each breath we take; each choice we make, oh LordHelp us to make the most of life by reck'ning the reward ~Janet Martin
