The race called life: It seems the whole world is running this race, and each person gets a different result and reward. In this race of life everyone is trying to accomplish as much as possible in the time we are given, which is one lifetime. If we look at the difference in lifestyles just in the last 50 years, we can see drastic changes. In 1960 most families it was just the dad that worked and provided for his family, the family was content and I would dare say much happier with such a life, but as time goes on to the present day. Both parents work as many hours as possible and still can’t make enough money to have a savings or even keep the bills paid.

What happened? I would say God has been removing his protective hand from our lives. Since God is not welcome in most of the world these days how can his blessings work for us? Instead of trusting God to provide for us we trust our jobs. I am not saying set on your butt and God will hand you everything. There has to be a balance. Live according to the word of God. Jeremiah 6:16 tells us to stand at the crossroads and see which road is the old reliable path that leads to blessings. Today everyone is in such a hurry to keep getting more and more of whatever it is that they think they need.

How many people do you know that are way over their head in debt? If you took those same people reduced their house size traded the new luxury cars in for something cheaper and got rid of all the high priced toys they could probably live real comfortable. A simple life has many advantages but most people get caught up in trying to stay up with their friends to the point that money is all they think about.

What does God want you to do? Have you stopped at the cross road and considered which path to take? Or did you just keep running with the crowd? Matthew 7:14 tells us that the path to life is narrow but wide is the path to destruction, which one are you on? If you look at the people of the USA and most of the world in context with the bible you will see there is a thousand on the path to destruction and one on the path to life. I caution you about taking paths just because everyone else is on that path.
