Live wise: Live for eternity and aim your time, talent and treasure at taking others with you.
What Moses told the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. Unfortunately, humanity always has trouble with two problems: legalism and lawlessness. Without Christ’s abiding life we cannot fulfill the Spirit of the law.
Have you ever stayed up all night talking to one you love? Did you complain of being sleepy? Did you reach for a sleeping pill? Or were you surprised that the sun came up so soon? I wonder what Jesus spoke of with His Father.
Live the life of the open hand. One hand lifted and open to God, one hand extended and open to others. Let God’s grace flow to and through you to others. Become a conduit of grace and be refreshed.
