Time the gap in Eternity...



Time is just a measuring tool and it has a expiration date. Are you living your time here in the earth for temporary pleasures or are you living for eternity.

Live is but a vapor... Here today and gone tomorrow. what are you living for?

What profits a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul?

The Parable of the Rich Fool
Luke 12:13-21
Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain 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 whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

Time is just a gap in eternity.... Are you living for the gap or are you living for eternity. When we focus on the gap we place our trust in temporary things. We focus on "me and mine". We fit God into our schedule whenever it's convenient. Our praise is determined by how much stuff we have.

Do not live foolishly! Live for ETERNITY!
