Blessings and REal Life

You are blessed!  You may ask, “How am I blessed.”  You are blessed if you have put your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.  You do not have to worry about everlasting torment.  You instead have an eternity with the Father to look forward too.  That good news shouldn’t be a reason to remove yourself from the living now, but rather it should be a source of encouragement to endure the things that occur in everyday life—both good and bad.

It’s really a great thing that we are saved.  It’s really a great thing that we have passed from death to life and that I have eternity with the Father to look forward to and as a source of hope.  However, what about the here and now?  What should I do in the mean time?  What should I do when bills have to be paid and I’m short on funds?  What should I do if I’m laid off from my job or a big expense arises out of nowhere, e.g. you need a new roof?  This is where the rubber meets the road and where hype is shown for what it really is—meaningless.

What should we do in normal everyday situations with regard to God?  Does being saved assure me of any advantage with regard to my financial situation?  I would like to investigate those questions at this time.  I would like to use the lessons that I have leaned in my own life as a backdrop.  However, we will investigate what the scriptures have to say to us to answer those questions or to a least point us in the direction to the answers.
