EVERYDAY IS A STONE

in #sc-n8 years ago

Hello Everyone, Today we are going to be looking at Life from a whole new dimension and Perspective, What Do I Mean?, today we will be likening our days on earth to stones.

Let us start by defining or looking at what stones really are.

Stones are hard, solid substances found in, or on the ground around us.
Like in the picture above, our days can be likened to a Bucket or a container that is filled with stones. You see, God determines and knows the number of days that each and every single one of us here on earth will live. As we have likened everyday to stones, it thus means that everyday that passes, a stone Has been removed from the container which holds our stones.

We as individuals haven't come to this realization and as such, we live our lives just as it pleases us, not realizing that everyday spent is a day closer to the day that we give up. Now, this brings us to a point. The Bible says in John 10:10 that the devil comes not but to kill, "STEAL" , and destroy. This Bible passage has made me to understand that we should be careful with our stones, we should carry them well, we should protect them with everything that we have got. The Bible also says in Matthew 13:25 that, "while men slept, the enemy came to sow tares". Now, this means that we should be very careful and prayerful about our stones (days). The above mentioned scripture is the reason why a particular day will be good for someone and then suddenly, the next day, bad things happen to the person. We should guard our stones (days) with diligece.

We should know that a stone (day) wasted can never be regained. So we should MAXIMIZE every moment that we have and try to be PRODUCTIVE at all times.

Ephesians 5:16 tells us that the days are evil and as such, we should always, I repeat ALWAYS make good use of our time. Time is money, INVEST it, don't spend it. Make your time precious because time waits for no man. Everybody is on his or her way to destiny and we must know that,
in our containers holding our stones, there are stones that are bad (bad days) and there are also stones that are good (good days), now, our prayer is and should be that the number of stones in our containers should exceed by far, the number of bad stones in our container. But there is something we must know,

Let's not cry over spilt milk, let's not regret wasted years, because even though we have wasted some stones in our lives, we can still make good and maximum use of the stones that we have left. We can achieve more than what we planned for, just if we believe it, and focus because Luke 1:37 says "for with God, nothing shall be impossible"

I'll be rounding up with this illustration
Let's say someone has 90 years to spend on earth
Every year has 365 days
It simply means that that individual has 90×365= "32,850" stones, and everyday, the number of stones reduce

Let us live life with this consciousness and make the best out of it.

We must learn to work in accordance to purpose.
We must live, not exist.

Following you now/.

Thank you very much, I just wanted to find a way to let people know that time is very important and should be managed properly,

Following you too

That's really true, our days are just like stones, our days are reduced daily, why?, because they are numbered by God, we must learn to keep and protect ourselves and resist the devil whenever he comes to devour.

Yes bro, we must guard our possession with diligence ☺
