Beginning and Ending

Every day has a beginng and an ending... Like this morning you wake to find the world has been shaken and everyone is in shock, praying for everyone involved.. Prayer is a wonderful thing.... We are to have compassion for everyone, but the sad part is in a week or two people will begin to forget what happen today and go their merry way never mentioning them in prayer again - it is to know God said to pray without ceasing.. So, this kind of destruction should never be forgotten, because these people will live out this devastation as we go on with our lives... As I reflect on all the devastation that has happened in the last several years makes me know God is trying to get His people's attention..because of what the Word says in Ephesians 5:14-15  Wherefore He said " Awake thou thou sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See that you walk in cautiously, not as fools but as wise.".. God constantly is revealing to us we are not promised tomorrow, someone's day will definitely end..  Luke 12:18-21 " Then He said, " This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. I'll say to myself, " You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." But God said to him, "You fool! "This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?" This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich towards God."  The question is will our end take us into Heaven for eternality? We live our lives like we are promised a long life and we take no regard to God or His Word until tragedy strikes... Sadly enough people only pray in times of destruction, only time people feel fear is when we are face with the unknown or possibility of death... but when they have been spared they go on to live the life they have always lived. We need to know God and live for Him daily so when such things happen we are not caught up in fear... It is to know we will know how our ending  will be if our life will be required of us... God said in order to have this assurance we are to repent and turn from our wicked ways, accept and confess with your mouth Jesus Christ as Lord, die to your selfish desires and take on the life of Christ.... and strive to be Christ like... Walking in the Spirit that we would fulfill the lust of our flesh..  This goes on beyond religion - it is called salvation.. So we need to get serious about the way we chose to live the life God has given us and walk in His will for our life that we can have an ending that put us safety in the arms of Jesus... So our ending will be our beginning with our Savior for all eternaltiy...
