In my youth growing up, like many people, we sometimes had lunch on Sunday's with my grandmother. Now, grandmother could be grumpy, but, she would finish her lunch and start clearing the table; and as she picked up our plates, she often, said, "Keep your fork, the best is yet to come." There were lots of grandmothers like this in my childhood day, telling her children and grandchildren to keep their fork. Little did we know how profound she spoke. She may have been grumpy, but her dessert was always the best.Life, it is often filled with the PITs, Problems, Issues, and Troubles and we cannot avoid them. As we try to avoid the PITs, our circumstances often bring them anyway.
The PITs may cause us to be unhappy, but even in our unhappiness, we can have vision to make Godly decisions as we walk in the Holy Spirit through the minefield of our PITs. It is all about the goals we set. In the Guidance of the Holy Spirit, we set better goals, worthy goals, and we cannot ever give up, even when the PITs get in our way. And, it will happen! Just never give up, and make any failures in your PITs be your stepping stones to success.
Even in unhappiness with our circumstances, we find Joy in life's trip of God-worthy everyday achievements.
As happiness is a reflection of our circumstances,
Joy is found through the Holy Spirit and
becomes fruit of the Vine in our decision to be
in humble repentance in accepting
Christ Jesus and His salvation, and
Seeking His Kingdom.
Our happiness is circumstantial but Joy in the Holy Spirit is forever.
Rise above your PITs, living in the Guidance of the Holy Spirit.
At the end of my Journey in this world with the Holy Spirit, as I lay in my casket, I will have a fork in my hand with a note card, "The Best is yet to come". Near by will be this writing.
My grand mother taught me to "Keep your fork", but in my mother dragging me to church I learned the wisdom in those words, "the best IS yet to come". I learned, Believe in Jesus, Repent, Receive the Holy Spirit, Trust God, and bear fruit. In this, we have the best of this world in us, and in the Promises of Jesus,
the best IS STILL yet to come.
Thanks be to God
and for Godly-mothers and Wise-grandmothers.
