reality. check.


Reality check! A large number of American's suffer/die from heart disease, and one of the risk factors is an inadequate consumption of fruits and veggies! Now, some of you may be in your early twenties and figure this doesn't pertain to you, however, heart disease is a gradual process and symptoms may take years to surface. The actions we take today, effect our tomorrow. If we don't make positive choices about what we put into our bodies, it can take us to a place where we find ourselves left in utter misery-- and then, it will be too late…

Reality check! We want to think we have total control over our lives, but no matter what we want to believe, God is a SOVEREIGN God- which means he knows all, rules all and controls all; he is all powerful! God created this world, and everything outside of it. Nothing happens without God's knowledge, he controls this world and whether we want to believe it or not- he controls every little detail of what happens on this planet. He is alpha and omega, however we are mere mortals. God gives us the option to submit to him so that we can live eternally.

We like to believe submission is a sign of weakness, but submitting to God is a sign of wisdom, because we are ultimately safe in God's hands rather than trying to control our own destinies, which only leads us nowhere [fast]! "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28.

The reality is, God rules over all, we have no control, no power- because this is his world. He does give us an option, but if we don't make that choice to live according to his word today, you will find yourself in utter misery-- and then it will be too late…

tomorrow is not promised.
