Packing your Bags
¬Ý
If you were traveling to a cooler climate you wouldn’Äôt pack for a hot spot, just as you wouldn’Äôt pack for a cold climate if you were headed for a warmer destination.¬Ý If you were going rock climbing you would take all the proper equipment for a successful climb.¬Ý So, what things are you packing in your life?¬Ý Are you packing things that are hostile and destructive or are you packing things that build and encourage a healthy outcome?
As I read the Bible I can see nothing but encouragement for packing life with healthy and wholesome things, things that will not only benefit my life, but the lives of others as well.¬Ý We cannot go through life packing only for ourselves, but we must pack for the impact we will have upon others as well.¬Ý
The Lord has granted my life to me and I must use it to bless others.¬Ý If my focus is solely on my own life I will miss the wonderful people and sites that the Lord intended for me to be part of.¬Ý By spending time in the word and with the Lord, He will show me exactly what I should pack in life’Äôs bag.¬Ý My journey will be adequately prepared for and I will have exactly what I will need for life’Äôs trip.

’ÄúI want to understand the path to integrity. When will you come to me? I will live in my own home with integrity.¬Ý I will not put anything wicked in front of my eyes. I hate what unfaithful people do.¬Ý I want no part of it.’Äù Psalm 101:2-4
