FUTURE

 How often do we consider the future?

 This is one thing 
that sometimes 
people do think
about.

But how often do people
really consider their future?
Is it constantly upon peoples'
minds or hardly at all?

People at times plan
for their futures, they
also plan for their 
children's futures as well.

This can be both financial
and also through giving
guidance as well.

Sometimes people have
hopes for their future
which they plan and prepare
for, they have their
hearts set upon this.

Yet is it always
the case, that the things you
plan, prepare and hope for
actually do happen?

Within the context of
the church though, what
plans, hopes or dreams
do you have?

This can be both for yourself
yet also for the 
entirety of the Church.

That can mean the Church
to which you belong, the Church
within your nation and also
the worldwide Church.

We have a future with,
and in Christ, this future
is guaranteed. But also we
have a future in Christ
within this life.

It is what we do with our
future; do we work for what
we believe we should do
within the Church and of course for God,
or do we just hope for these things?

If God gives you a desire
within your life for the future,
which at this moment in time
is not yet possible, then this
means he wants you to
prepare, plan and work to
achieve this.

This again can be just for 
yourself to do or it can be
for the many. But it always
is important for you to do
your part for the eventual
result to be that which 
was hoped for.

So plan, prepare and have
hope in your future in 
all the things that you do.
All that is done, do it
for his glory not your own.

Listening

 Do people always listen?  One thing that is certain is that people want to be heard. We all want people to listen to what we have to say, whether they are someone that we know well or not. There can of course be many different topics of conversation,  dependant upon your listeners one subject may be more interesting than another to some. But sometimes when an individual is talking, they can tell that the one they are speaking to is not really listening. It could be that they may have other things upon their minds at that time or it could be that they just are not interested in what is said. Within the Church though, can this or does this happen?  When we speak to other Christians within the Church to which we belong, we should expect them to listen. Also we should also ourselves be prepared to listen to  what people say, it may be that they have a need of either advice or just some...

Something New

 Do you try anything new?  When a thing is new, it holds interest and can catch the attention of many. Whereas, when something is not new it needs sometimes a new way of doing it, something that will catch peoples' attention once again. What new things catch your attention? This can  be different for many people, a s people have different  interests, likes and dislikes. For some it can be a new car, for others it can be a new house, or possibly  for some it could be a new job. It may also be a new type of food which you have never tasted before, or a new hobby. Perhaps a new television or computer that comes out catches your attention, o r a new film or song that has been released.  Within the Church there can be new things, but also sometimes it can appear that there has not been anything new for some time. It is of course important to bring new things and ideas into the Chu...

Commands

How many commands have you broken? There possibly are quite a  few commands which we have received within our lives. Some of the commands which we may have received though we may not quite take  as a command, or understand that it was  an actual command. In peoples' careers or places of employment, sometimes a command is given to an employee and it may not be seen as such or taken as a request  or suggestion. There are also those who are in authority, such as  politicians or those within the military who also give commands, but these expect to be obeyed. Which of course they  should be, and unless the individual wishes to be reprimanded in  some way, their commands  are followed. Why though within the Church do some not  then follow the same  example, as for example soldiers who follow their commanding officers' commands as they are given. This of course...
