It is easy for us to get caught up in earthly things. Everywhere you look we are being enticed to eat here, buy this, come here, try that. Television, radio, computers, phones, and more. Each grabbing at us. Friends, family, acquaintances, even those we don\u2019t know. People actually make good careers out of marketing. They\u2019ve learned the best ways to get our interest. Now, I\u2019m not suggesting there\u2019s anything wrong with any of these. In fact, I enjoy many earthly things. Let\u2019s just remember to not value them over everything else. Let\u2019s be sure to have our priorities in the right place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing I truly enjoy, and get \u201cjoy\u201d out of, is being out in the creation. I\u2019m aware it\u2019s part of this earth we call home. But, I\u2019m more aware of the fact God created it. And we should enjoy God\u2019s creation. We should celebrate God\u2019s creation with joy! And if we look at this more closely, we realize we are part of the creation. God created us too. And when we look at it like this, then we know that all of creation should rejoice and praise God. The joy of creation is Christ-centered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let\u2019s conclude with this. Yes, we are in this world. We are in an earthly existence. But let\u2019s keep our eyes on God. Then we can experience life on earth knowing how it all came to be. And then when we leave from here, we will get to celebrate and rejoice with the one who created it all. It really is amazing when you think about it. You live a life on earth. A life which is part of his creation. Then, when life ends here, we spend eternity with the creator. Read that again. Eternity with the creator. But don\u2019t forget, in order to spend eternity and heaven, we need to believe that Jesus is the Christ. That\u2019s the key. And he gives us that key because he loves us. Always has. Always will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
