Priorities

In this life there are many things needing to be done, but you are not expected to do them all! If you are living in Canada and the cousin you have seen very little of because he lived in Mexico has died what need is there for you to go to his funeral, when you have people who need you at home. Jesus said,"Let the dead bury their dead." If the Lord tells you that you should take that trip to Mexico by all means do it.  A young healthy person with plenty of money could and probably should do it , but even then if he has a family to look after where should his priorities lie. Missionaries have to face this problem.  Has the Lord sent them abroad or do they need to look after elderly parents? That is the sort of question each of us has to wrestle with in this life. Should I spend time with a clingy friend, and how much time? Someone like that can eat up your time which, could perhaps be spent more fruitfully. Yeah, life is full of difficult questions. You are the only one who can decide but sometimes friends can help a lot.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
