Everything in this world is moving. Time never rests. The earth spins, and even the sun follows its course. Tides shift the seas, winds stir the air, and rocks wear away. Change and death are everywhere. The sea isn't a storehouse. As water flows in, it's lifted back out.

People are born only to die. Life is full of hurry and worry. But for those who trust in Jesus, there's joy in His unchanging nature. We have a lasting home beyond this world. We won't be disappointed. This truth makes us grateful.

The ocean receives much but also gives back through clouds and rain. A person who only takes and doesn't give is out of sync with God's world. Giving is like planting seeds that will grow. If we're good stewards and use our resources for God, He'll entrust us with more. Friend of Jesus, are you giving back based on what you've received? You've been given much; what are you producing? Have you done all you can?

Can you do more? Selfishness is sin. If the ocean kept all its water, it would ruin us. May we never live only for ourselves.

Jesus didn't live to please Himself. Though all fullness dwells in Him, He shares everything with us. Let's seek Jesus' spirit so we may live for others and not just ourselves.
