WHAT-IF!
Luke 12:16-21 (19)
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
An application exists in statistics, known as the “What-If
Analysis”. This Analysis is a process of changing key values in a
set of calculation in order to determine possible outcomes. Now!
We are not in a Mathematics class neither are we discussing statistics, however the Holy Spirit wants us to learn one or few things today. A wicked dictator once killed many who opposed him and embezzled trillions in Dollars. But, his death was just too easy to believe.. What-If! A man had applied for jobs but all failed, he lost hope and hung himself. But, that same day an appointment letter was waiting. He never thought of “What-If” God changed his story. It was too late! Hmm.. Do we take time to examine our actions? Oh! Are my ways always pleasing to God? What-If, I die today, can I make eternity? Friend! You’ve gossiped about everyone in the area, What-If it bounces back on you? Eh!
What-If, God blesses me now, would I lavish it or use for His glory? Don’t be like the rich fool who boasted of tomorrow (Proverbs 27:1), anything can happen! Mathematics might be
tough, but if only we can always apply this “What-If Analysis” in
our daily lives, then we will be more conscious of what tomorrow
may hold and eternity. God Help us!
