Reflecting on the future?

I had a few thoughts to share today in this short blog.

People seem to worry about the wrong things of the future. What do I mean?

A recent author I heard about, said some interesting facts about people's future worries. One of the bigger worries or what people would be looking forward to would be retirement, what to do after work, plans for themselves, etc. But, what are they missing?

Seems people worry about their future for themselves. That is rather self-balanced thought, am I right? Of course. Much peer pressure at work and with friends has coerced some of Christians (and non-Christians) to think about retirement and make a big deal out of it.

However, what do these people not worry about? Their family, in the future. What is my family going to be like in the future. What about health? What is my health going to be like?

What about a long-standing relationship with GOD? I hope that would be a top priority for your future. To stay close to God, would be a goal that everyone should possess.

Let the leader shine in yourself, and show the world who God is. Show your loving side by caring about your family's future, and your own health -- instead of worrying about your retirement/success in the future.

We should be honored by praising our family, and what their future will look like. If someone is battling a sickness in your family or friends, pray for them and consider what their health will be in the future. Consider possible steps to be prepared for those health battles that may plague members of your family.

"Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other" (Romans 12:10 NLT).

Also consider how we can do what God wants us to do for the future.

I leave you with this scripture:

"Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other" (Romans 12:3-5 NLT).
