An unexpected change of circumstances has altered my schedule once again! I had it all worked out. I had a plan in place as to what I would like to be doing in the next few months but something happened to change all that! When performing a small alteration to this website a little while ago I was notified that the template I am currently using is no longer supported, which means that Rest a While is going to refreshed a little sooner than I had planned!
It was only two years ago when Rest a While last underwent a makeover. This entailed some considerable amount of time consuming work, which for the most part was very enjoyable and appeals to the creative mindset I am fortunate to possess. One thing is for certain - life here is not going to last forever, and one day we must lay it all aside and leave. Although we know that this must happen to each one of us, we don't know exactly when it will happen. Thankfully we are given the option and responsibility to be prepared for this eventuality, so that we can know where we will be afterwards. The large majority of people I know put the subject of their mortality on the back burner. After all, who wants to be thinking of passing when there is so much living to do? But this is the very thing that is preventing people from knowing what life is truly all about. When we're not prepared to meet with our Maker, then we get the 'it's all about me' syndrome. (Or rather sindrome.) We try to pack in all the experiences of living we can, while we can, and we seldom see any further than our own needs and wants. But when the matter of our sin has been addressed and our destination is fixed heavenward, our interests and desires transfer to those around us and for the good pleasure of a loving heavenly Father whose blessings upon His people are abounding, limitless and eternal. God in His infinite grace has not left it all to ourselves to get on a right relationship with Him. If He had, then we might as well adopt the attitude of the Godless folk in days of old who said: "Let us eat, drink, and be merry; for tomorrow we die." God has demonstrated to us that He is a God of love. He did this when He allowed His precious Son to die on a cruel Roman cross in the place of poor lost sinners like ourselves.
Having come to an understanding of this tremendous act of love, we now have the responsibility to do something about it. That type of understanding should reveal to us that we are in desperate need for the salvation God has provided through the death of His Son.
