A Well Know Irish Limerick Claims Theres A Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow. Although We All Know

A well know Irish limerick claims there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Although we all know that prize isn’t there, regardless many people are following a rainbow they believe leads to their prize of a fulfilled life.

While God has given us all free will and even our founding documents promise us the freedom to pursue “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness,” what we think is our 'Best Life Now' may instead not be the happy conclusion hoped for.

This is where life gets tricky, because when we set our affections on earthly desires to guide us along our fanciful rainbows, we miss the greatest blessings that could be ours if only we knew the right path to follow. Instead Colossians 3:2 says that when we “Set (our) affection on things above, not on things on the earth” that the His promise of the PRIZE is eternal life in heaven.

Jesus said “STRAIGHT is the gate, and NARROW is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.” and this road is not the wide, easy road that the majority of people parade along gleefully hand in hand, but instead is a path that requires us instead to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)

Friend, the “Prize” at the end of God’s heavenly rainbow is ETERNAL LIFE.

What rainbow are you following?

Years ago I knew a strong sister in Christ that had a simple but effective way to deal with problems she was going through.

On her kitchen bulletin board, she pinned up a small brown paper bag, and on it it simply said 'THE GOD BAG'

Curious I asked her “What’s that for?” and she said “Whenever I have a problem, I write it down on a piece of paper, throw it into THE GOD BAG and say to myself and to the Lord, 'OK Lord, that problem is yours! And I know you’ll provide a means or way to solve it!'”

As today’s scripture reminds us, we need to cast (i.e. place) all our cares upon the Lord, and not carry them alone because He indeed does care for us! While life can be really hard at times, the Bible says that Christ will stand by our side and help as we plow along the field of life (Matthew 11:29) as He also said:

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:34

Friend, when you need assistance, don’t go it alone. Cast your problem into THE GOD BAG!

God Bless Your Day

Some people are on a quest to 'find God' (as if He was hard to find) but actually the opposite is true! cannot-find-godNot only is God 'available' and waiting for people to come to Him, but He has given us a book that tells us exactly WHERE He is and how He CAN BE FOUND and it is called the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth - The B.I.B.L.E.

The funny and sad thing about this book is that it is SO available as to be ridiculous. The Bible is the most published, most written about, most studied, most translated and most widely available book on the planet. In fact if you want one, just walk into most thrift stores and they often just give them away for free!

But here is the thing - there WILL be a time coming shortly where GOD WILL BE A LOT HARDER TO FIND. This self-same Bible speaks about a time, coming soon of when His Hand will be removed from the earth (2 Thessalonians 2:6) as well as His People, His church (1 Thessalonians 4:17). This is something called the “Great Tribulation” and it will be a time of lawlessness, persecution and death, and at that time it will be very difficult for anyone trying to find or reach out to God.

The Bible says that “TODAY is the Day of Salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2) and as today’s scripture says, “Seek the Lord while He may be found.” The good news of the gospel is that He’s Here, He’s Waiting, and He’s READILY FOUND.

If you earnestly call out to Him from your heart, He will HEAR YOU, and He will FIND YOU.
