THERE ARE CARRIES IN THE TEETH OF TIME

John 15 is today's chapter.

Read the section the verse refers to.

We say the tine of time, the time we live in is different than before. What is different? The form+ Paul says we who believe in Jesus should not let ourselves be shaped by this world. Have not many Christians taken parts of the world into their lifestyle? Cold lukewarm love, lack of care for other believers etc.

God and the Lord Jesus have never changed their minds. God created us in his image, unfortunately humans have never really accepted it, they try to create something else and they call it freedom. Jesus has set us free from the world's flow and influences, We are set in the Heavenly not in the earthly, many are bound by the things of the earth they do not want to let go but let themselves be shaped by the lifestyles of the spirit of this world. What about you?

Isn't this about something we all know? How life is often experienced? It is a fact that trees – if you want them to bear fruit – must be pruned every now and then. We are like a tree, we are pruned and bear the fruit of God's Spirit. John 15

It is also a fact that we all get older and older; often many of us experience that money is not always enough, and that in the end it has to end up with a tooth completely pulled out. But God's people never lack anything. Jesus is always the one who shows us the way, even when money may be small. We should not put our hope in this world's wealth, dear friends.

REPETITION
And even though this is the case, we still often have an expectation that tomorrow will be a repeat of today. In my case, it could sound something like this: Breakfast. Sending the children to school. Work. Picking up the children. Shopping. Cooking. Sitting in front of the cash register. Calling mom (if she is lucky). It just doesn't quite fit NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING. Every day is a new unknown. But known by God.

But life isn't always like that.
Suddenly the power can go out - and therefore the internet, and the children panic. Then the car may no longer start and help make a big hole in the piggy bank. Then suddenly there is a gigantic cloudburst, which forces sewage water up into all the city's basements - and those aren't even the worst examples.

Why do believers today panic over very ordinary things, don't they believe that Jesus has everything under control today?

EVERYTHING IS GIVEN AS A GIFT, AND NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS FOR SURE.« LIFE IS A GIFT.

Amen
