Bible 285

 It is so easy to grasp on to things that will not last. There is  nothing wrong with doing our best in our career or managing resources but we can hold on to ‘things’ too tightly that we place our hope and stability in them. But we must be prepared for the crises that could happen without warning or our ignorance. I’m reminded of the business book, “How The Mighty Fall” that researched major companies that did not last, due to an arrogance of I can do no wrong. The following reference quoted by Nicky struck me:  “Spending time with God is the way in which God breathes his wisdom into you (Psalm 119:73, MSG). He comforts you so that you can live, ‘really live… live whole and holy, soul and body’ (vv.77,80a, MSG), and always walk with your ‘head held high’ (v.80b, MSG). The wisdom of Paul and Jeremiah are needed today as much as when they write their words.
