tolik jsem dnes platil za benzín… to se mi ještě nestalo… za chvíli za plnou překonám 2.000,- a to bude mazec…
that’s how much I paid today for gas… that hasn’t happend to me yet… in a while I might get over 2.000,- CZK for the full tank. And some more explanation for my friends from overseas:
total prize – 1.900,- CZK = $109
total amount – 53,37l = 14,1gal
price per 1 litre – $2,0
price per 1 gallon – $7,73
The things that we leave unprotected in normal environment rust. They can even be it the building with roof. But it is the same situation as we would leave them outside when the building is not finished. This particular part of some process equipment was left in the unfinished building. Under the roof but unfinished though. Three years left their marks.
It is the same in our lives. We are inspired with something, we are in the good track, it is moving forward, but when we are not well prepared sooner or later our strengths are gone and we don’t finish that task. Our efforts and time are wasted and what we built will rust.
Luke 14:28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
Let us be wise and count well the costs but on the other hand let not bound the Holy Spirit by our works though He might lead us to the things that we do not have counted…
According to the scriptures from Bible mentioned below I assume that the stuff I do should have some sort of quality. I don’t do tham just for fun. But I don’t do them for myself. I don’t do them even for the parents. I don’t do them for my bos at work at all. I don’t do them for my wife.
They should have quality because I do them because of God. Because of what He did for me. Because of the knowledge that I’ve been saved. Because of that evrything I have comes from Hi. I will not hide. I will not make any excues. I will confess everything once. What my results will be?
1.Cor 10:31 … so whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God…
Col 3:23-24 … work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ…
Interesting idea – nowadays things are mostly upgraded instead of replaced.
What I mean by that?
Things that we have we replace (upgrade with) most of the time by new ones sooner that the lifetime of the ones we already have expires. There is always a new and better product on the market and we just want it. It applies with cell phones, computers, cars, cloths… and we could continue on and on.
There is one very audacious prayer in the Bible in the book of Acts – at least in the context of the circumstances it was prayed.
Here is the end of it.
29 And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. 30 Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.
