LIFE IS A RISKY BUSINESS








 

 

 

 

 

LIFE IS A RISKY BUSINESS

 

Wherever we go to in LIFE=or

Wherever we are= we are

AT RISK

 

At homes=in our jobs=in our

Automobiles=or EVEN

Walking on the street

 

Life is a RISKY BUSINESS=trials

Come through health crisis=

Through financial problems=and in ALL

Kinds of relationships

 

“Into your hands=

I commend MY SPIRIT”                                                                                               Psalm 31:6

 

When those RISKS come=let us

TURN to God=like Jesus did

 

Let us FIND our security=our

REFUGE=in God and in Jesus=

Who are the very

BREAD OF LIFE

 

Life is always a risk=be prepared

To TURN to God=

 

 

For we NEVER KNOW

What risks

Are GOING to come

OUR WAY

 

“To you Lord=I CALL

You are my ROCK

Do not

 

TURN a deaf ear

To me

 

For=if you

Remain SILENT

I will be

 

Like those

Who go down to the pit”                                                                                                          Psalm 28:1

 

“Let the wicked

FORSAKE their ways

And the unrighteous

Their thoughts

 

Let them

TURN to the Lord

And he

 

WILL have MERCY on them

And to our God

 

For he

Will FREELY pardon them”                                                                                            Isaiah 55:7

 

Life is risky

That IS FOR SURE

 

So we live in a world

That tries to be SAFE

And FULL of security

 

Our cars have seat belts

And airbags=we have ALARM SYSTEMS

In our homes and businesses

 

But no matter how safe

We try to be

We are

STILL AT RISK

 

In today’s first reading

Stephen is going to

Be STONED to death

 

Stephen TURNS to Jesus=Jesus

TURNS to his Father

 

WHEN we are at risk=dear Lord=we PRAY=

That we always TURN TO YOU

For our SAFETY

 

For you are

THE ONLY WAY

 

“Jesus answered=

‘I am the WAY

And the TRUTH

And the LIFE

 

No one comes

To the FATHER

EXCEPT through me’”                                                                                                 John 14:6

 

Jesus is the ONLY SAFE WAY

In this life FULL OF RISK

 

In Jesus’ name
