I was reading my devotion tonite and Id though Id share it with you all!! The teenagers mom, a bit exasperated by the failure of her youngest child to show the desired maturity, sighed and said, two more years of junior high. To which he, in typical style, replied with a smile, mom, why dont you just take the next two years off! Often there are things we would simply like to avoid by taking time off. When we have a chronically sick family member, we may be tempted to just check out for awhile. When children rebel and make parenting a struggle, wed prefer a long vacation from the hassle. Then there is those times when we face great Spiritual battles that we would like to skip altogether. Paul spoke freely briefly about such struggles in 2Thessalonians 3. He mentioned the problem of dealing with people who walk among you in a disorderly manner, . . . .busybodies. Facing up to people problems can be frustrating. But Paul gave part of the solution when he said, Do not grow weary in doing good. Another part of the equation Is to listen to the psalmist, who said, Cast your burden on the lord, and he shall sustain you (Psalm 55:22). When its not possible to take the next two years off, we can gain hope from this advice: Keep doing good and keep casting your care on God. Thats better than taking time off. AMEN!!:) goodnight everyone!!
