Bible Verse of The Day – 2-29-24

Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

What is it that we are trying to accomplish each day? What or whom are we chasing after?

Lately I have been taking a good look at my life to see if I am spending my time here on this earth wisely.

Think about it, we only have so many years here. And they go by quickly; more quickly than most of us realize.

Am I doing what God has called me to do, or am I just mimicking the way we think we are supposed to do things according to this world?

Boy, wouldn’t the devil love to get all God’s children grasping for the wind?

Jesus didn’t have a place to lay His head. He didn’t have a place He called home. He was always busy doing His Father’s will.

Now, we understand Jesus was God’s Son, and He was perfect. His mission was clear.

But even though He was God in the flesh, He had emotions, feelings, desires and needs. He was a man, just like we are. He got tired.

Matthew 8:20 (NKJV) 20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

There was nowhere for Him to lay His head. He kept focused on His purpose and didn’t worry about comfort and material things.

That is the word I keep hearing over and over. Keep focused!

Wake up each day and know what we are going to do for the day. Have a plan and stick to it. Don’t stray from it unless the Holy Spirit leads us in another direction.

2 Timothy 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Life here is temporary. This place is not home. It’s our mission field.

And our time here goes by quickly. So, let us be busy each day spreading the good news and being ready, in season and out of season.

If we do this, we will not miss out on anything worthwhile, for the rest is all vanity.

Let us not be grasping for the wind. Follow God’s purpose, not the worlds way of living!

Amen.
