Backups

I installed a great new program today. It is basically a Personal Information Manager that tracks all that I do as well as all of my records. It is limited only by one's imagination. But the point that I like best about program is that it automatically creates a backup on a separate drive from the main program file. This way I can't lose my information that I have so diligently prepared. You probably know what I mean. You keep your work for 6 months or a year, and all of the sudden your computer goes down. Reinstalling windows causes you to lose much of your information. There goes all that work down the drain.

You know, our spiritual life is similar. Sometimes it seems like we take 3 steps forward and then the wicked one comes in like a flood and we are knocked 2 steps backward. Many have even said that they feel like they are on a spiritual "roller coaster". But YHWH is a good record keeper! In fact, everything that we do is on "record" in the Heavenly Realm unto the "Day of Judgement". What does this mean in our lives?

1 Cor 3:11-17 tells us:

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Yahushua the Messiah. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of YHWH, and that the Spirit of YHWH dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of YHWH, him shall YHWH destroy; for the temple of YHWH is holy, which temple ye are.

It is clear that we will be judged for whatever we do in this life, either good or bad, after we accept the sacrifice of YHWSHUA. The records are being kept, and the backup is in place. What is it that we are doing with are lives? Are we laying up wood, hay, and stubble? Or are the things that we are doing preparing for us gold, silver, and precious stones? Let us "stive toward the mark of the High calling in YHWSHUA!" Remember that "you ARE the temple of YHWH." Let us be careful to do all that we do heartily as unto YHWH, and not unto man!

Walk in Truth....
