104 PAY DAY

Our whole purpose for working is to earn a living. If we are thrifty, we can save enough to retire on later. [If it is not all taken away from us.]

The world system is getting better and better at taking away what we are trying to keep and selling us things that we do not need or that will not last long enough to pay for their overall cost.

It has us so far in dept for our future earnings that the slight increases in the day to day costs are cutting into what we were planning to save for later so that we are, more and more, living to survive right now, let alone later, when we are too old and weak to maintain the same pace that we are setting now.

By taking away our future security, the world system is taking away our peace which, in turn, is taking away our health; making us older and weaker faster.

The system does not care about you or me; the system cares only for itself and each one in that system is in danger of accepting this attitude of caring only for themselves. Their wealth, their health and their security gradually takes over more and more of their thoughts and time every day. They are pushed harder and harder by their dept, their need for so much income and their present wants that they are selling their future to keep up today.

Few have escaped this system which, in today’s smaller world, is now world wide in scope. Those poorer and less able people have already fallen behind and are living, day to day, with little or no hope while the rest of us are drawing closer and closer to their position every day. Every day, we loose a great number of our population into the too poor and hopeless ranks.

Even those that have arrived to retirement with enough to live on, are worried that, with the costs going up, maybe they cannot remain secure.

All of this takes place on a day-to-day base, unnoticed, until payday; when we try to make up for what we have spent in the past and then try to provide for our present needs and see that what is left for our future is gradually disappearing.

God also has a payday; a day when all our actions of faith or disobedience will determine our security for our future.

This world system of disobedience started with Adam and Eve and progressed to where it took all but 8 of the people of the world before God decided to have a ‘payday’. Of those 8, one had a future because of faith and obedience to God, one had a secure future because of obedience to a faithful husband, three had a secure future because of obedience to a faithful father and three had a secure future because of their obedience to husbands that were obedient to a faithful father.

Our secure future depends on our faithfulness to our God on a day-to-day base but will only be evident at payday.

[To those doctrinal Christians, read carefully; nothing was said about salvation but, will your ‘payday’ leave you feeling secure and peaceful or with regrets at how much of your ‘paycheque’ you spent on things that you did not need?]
