You can "Bucket" or "Believe"...

You can “Bucket” or “Believe”...

To heck with a “bucket list” or if you are “Keeping up with Appearances”, you pronounce it bouquet; that’s a shout-out to Hyacinth Bucket.

God’s word says, “There a ways that seem right to a man but the end thereof is the ways of death”.  People tend to follow trends and what you hear many say is that they have a “Bucket List”; things that they want to do before they “kick the bucket” or die.  Who has time to focus on death when there is so much life out in front of us?  Why rely on death to be your motivation?  God admonishes us to “Choose Life”.  Both life and death are in front of you, but the choice is yours to make.

Death is easy.  Life – now that’s the challenge and the true test of durability.  Can you live this life in and with expectation that you will see God fulfill his promises to you?

Death is invariably and inevitably certain and that’s why the fail-safe to ease your anxiety and to make you so-called “want to live” is a bucket list; to make you believe that life is possible, when God already said that it is.

Beware of illusions, distractions and tricks of the enemy; showing you others completing their bucket lists.  They are following suit after what they saw someone else doing, and you would be following the exact same suit – in all actuality – it should be called a copy-cat list.

What happens will all your check-marks are complete, now what - Death? What happens when you finish your list?  Are you ready to now kick the proverbial bucket?

I dare you; I challenge you to believe for that which you have not seen before – for God to do the impossible.

If you haven’t seen God do all he has promised to you, what good is your list, if dying without his promises being fulfilled.
