[STOP] what you're DOing

Hey everyone,


I can't help it but last month's devotional was really good. And I can't help but to make a few more comments about it. Eternity can not be measured. There is no beginning and no end. There is no time. If you spend eternity in heaven, which is guaranteed by your surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, there will be no darkness. But there also will be no sun or moon, so how can there be no darkness? The light will come from what the bible calls the glory of Jesus Christ. HE is the light and all the light we will need will come from Him. We won't need to sleep because we will never get tired. The bible says we will get our new glorified bodies. Man, sometimes when I think about it I can't wait. Please make sure you are on the right side of eternity by making Jesus Christ Lord over your life.


Why don't you ever stop what you're doing? Why are you soo busy? Yeah, I'm talking to you. We are soo busy as a society that we never even stop to think. It is a trick of the enemy, Satan himself. We never talk much about the devil but he is real and he is putting a real beating on men and women. As long as he can keep you busy you will never stop to do what matters most. What matters most? Remember we talked about eternity, everything that is associated to eternity is what matters most. Everything that touches eternal life is what matters most. I am not saying that you stop everything that you are doing but if you can take moments of your day to put first things first it will change your life.


Do you know why the devil does not want you to stop and think? Because if you really do some deep thinking you will ask questions about yourself that will eventually lead you into a conversation with the one who made you who knows all about you. Then you will find out who you are and begin a relationship with the one who knew you before you were even born. The bible says "stand still and see the salvation of the Lord". If you never "stand still" or stop what you're doing you will never experience the supernatural work of Jesus in your life. Stop what you're doing and take some time to be quiet. Turn the TV off, the video games, and the music. Be still and practice spending time in silence with the Lord. It won't be easy but it is always worth it. "Stand still".
