          You spend your day to day doing what you have to do to survive and make it in this world.  You work, get in your routine to just make it through the day.  You go through the motions sometimes not even thinking of your next move because it is so routine for you.  Does this describe you??  This describes everyone!!!!  We get into robot mode and sometimes go on auto-pilot.  The enemy gets us into a routine where we don’t even have to think, and we just stay “in this world”  We don’t challenge ourselves to question things, or try to become deeper and become more spiritual.  Did you know that when we die if we are born again we have a seed planted in us that we are responsible for bearing fruit and working for the kingdom of God.  (1 Corinthians 3:11KJV) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;  13 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.  14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

          So when we have these fruits that we are responsible for and since good works don’t save us we need to rely 100% on Jesus.  When we die like it says in the scripture above the fire will burn away what we didn’t do and what we did do.  If it has true value eternally, then we give it to Jesus because it is all because of what he did. 

          So back to what I was saying, we get in this routine where we forget why we are here and our purpose.  Like it says in

(Ecclesiastes 1:2-4) Life is useless, all useless.  You spend your life working…but what do you have to show for it?... The world stays just the same.

          We need to be constantly renewing our mind and training ourselves how to think and how to act.  It takes work each day to do this.  We need to think of the Big picture/eternally NOT small picture/temporary.  We need to be taking advantage of being here alive on this earth today.  God gives us only ONE life to live.  Jesus never intended for us to slave ourselves working and being miserable.  We are supposed to have joy and an abundant life.  If we surrender to God we can have that day in and day out.
