Pick Your Battles

“Don’t sweat the small things”

When life tries to weary you

Keep up and keep on.

Senryu

If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5

Monotonous Motion

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Treadmills at the gym

Questioning my purpose

Walking everyday

And yet I’m going nowhere

On the treadmill of life

Need to stop and get off

That sad revolving belt

Get out in the real world

Find new paths to walk on

New voices to listen

To, and new faces to see

Realize I’m in control

Of where my feet step

I need to choose wisely

And plan future paths

MONEY

Dollar Sign

Must have this.

One thing that is

Necessary for

Everything on earth

You plan to do.

Acrostic

As I was talking with a couple of my grandkids today, and listening to each of them tell me about their future hopes and dreams, this came to mind—MONEY.

Each plan, each action, each dream, they had depended on money. Money to finance a patent on an idea. Money to pay for a trademark, business promotion, etc, etc.

It is sad but true. So much of our future life depends on money, yet with God all things are possible, for He does not depend on money.

So I tell them if their plans, hopes and dreams are in line with what God has purposed for them, then He will make a way for it all to happen.

And with that knowledge and belief, they and any believer, can trust and expect that their future will be a good one that honors God and fulfills their dreams as well.

…The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house,… Psalm 112:2-3

“…with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26
