Simply Safe

Godliness with Contentment

Every day, I am getting older and slower. I can try and play Jedi mind tricks but that does not stop my aging. As I get older, my metabolism slows, my recovery time takes longer. This week I decided to schedule a meeting with my doctor. What I realize is that even though I don't like to go to the doctors or hospitals (I like my doctor btw), there are times when it is necessary. You start to feel strange stuff; it is time to go. I am reminded that money is good, but health is better. I prefer health over money. I have heard of the rich who die. They have money to go to the doctors and buy the meds and perform the surgeries, but sometimes, even though they have access to a lot of money, no matter how much money is thrown at the ailment, it does not matter. It is then, but even before then, that we should be thinking about true safety. The question is 'are you simply safe?' In the midst of the storm - is your soul safe. We die and leave the money behind (we cannot take it with us). We have heard 1000 jokes about the coffin packed with money… Money does not make the most important part of us safe; in some cases it cannot even make our bodies safe. Get some money, yes, but don’t be deceived, it only works here, and sometimes it cannot even work here. Find your true safety in God.
