Carpe Diem - “Seize the Day!”

“Taking risks to make your life extraordinary is biblical, if done according to God’s plan and principles”.

The idea behind this comes from

TEXT for Today: Joshua 1:1-9

Taking risks to make your life extraordinary is biblical, if done according to God’s plan and principles.

The idea behind this comes from Ecclesiastes:

Ship your grain across the sea;

after many days you may receive a return.

2 Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight;

you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.

3 If clouds are full of water,

they pour rain on the earth.

Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,

in the place where it falls, there it will lie.

4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant;

whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.

In other words, there is no real way to calculate the return on investment.

Things can always go bad.

But with God, that’s not the case.

He honors the work of those who diligently follow Him and give of themselves.

In other words, there is no real way to calculate the return on investment.

But with God, that’s not the case.

He honors the work of those who diligently follow Him and give of themselves.

In the eyes of the world, not everything will work out perfectly for those who willingly give to God.

But it will work out in the spiritual long haul.

So, when God calls us to something, the answer is Carpe Diem.

And the question we should be asking Him is, “What can I do for you and your kingdom?”

Howard said, “Yahweh’s fidelity does not hinge on the achievement of men, however gifted they may be, nor does it evaporate in the face of funerals or rivers.”
