Silent Time

In order to be successful in life – do we need to compromise the word of God?

It may seem like that at times.

But if we take a deeper look at how we define “successful”, things can be different to the obvious.

What do you think - are we close to the end of the world? Or will life as we know it go on for many more centuries?

Both sides have their arguments.

One thing is clear and much more important.

Let’s hold out.

It is good to give compliments as well as to receive them.

But if we are honest, that is only one side of life, there are also so many shortcomings.

For certain tasks, mechanics need to protect their body, for example the welder needs to wear special glasses to protect the eyes.

As we protect the apple of our eyes, so God protects each one of our souls, even if life’s circumstances seem to suggest the opposite.

Joshua got a big task. It seemed to be too difficult.

Do you also know such situations? It may look like there are too many challenges and difficulties in life.

Yet there is one reason not to give up, rather to be determined and confident.

His own people did not receive him.

How about us today?

What is your experience with covenants?

On what we set our eyes, we also set our mind, we fix our attention on that matter or thing.

On what do you set your eyes? Our focus might be on a better job or on a better place to live.

Do you focus on the past or on the future?

What is purity in heart?

Can anyone achieve it?

What is righteousness?

One could find long definitions and explanations.

A simple way to put it is: “to be put right with God”. And that is important, because God is the almighty, the highest being, the ultimate judge. Therefore it is important that we are put right with God. But how can we get right with him? After all, in the way we are, we all are not perfect, nobody can live up to the holy standards of God by oneself. But praise the Lord that it does not depend on our accomplishments and rather on what God himself has done for us. On that basis, we are fully put right with God, whatever we have done. This offer is available to everybody. Do you accept it?
