“If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” .
What does that mean?

Today may seem dark and terribly long, but there will be a bright tomorrow.

There is nothing like hope in the truth to
clarify perspective and keep you going. Enduring a painful journey can
be done a lot more easily if you embrace truth as your traveling
companion. Not only will it give you hope, it will clarify your
perspective. Truth reminds us that God is alive and just and good. I say
again, wrong will ultimately be judged. Today may seem dark and
terribly long, but there will be a bright tomorrow.
There is nothing like a lack of assurance to
haunt your steps and make you afraid. Let me put it to you straight: If
you are without the Lord Jesus Christ in your life, your steps are
marked by uncertainty. And deep into the night when the lights are out
and your head is sunk into the pillow, thoughts of your ultimate future
will haunt you. Few thoughts are more frightening than not knowing where
you will be when you die. If you die without Christ, you're facing a
fearful judgment. "It is appointed for men to die once and after this
comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). To have inner peace you need to know
without a doubt where you're going.
My wife and I have a commitment regarding giving
our money while we're alive. I like the old saying, "Do your givin'
while you're livin', then you're knowin' where it's goin'." With that in
mind, be sure you're believing right while you're living, then you'll
be knowing where you're going. It's scary not knowing where you're
going.
Do you really know where you're going? Is your
eternal destination guaranteed? Amazingly, Bildad talked to the wrong
man and with the wrong motive. He had a strong message, but it was for
some other person. Could that person be you? If so, there is reason to
be concerned.
