Living Life on the Edge
Some people like to live life on the edge. They are risk-takers. Some of you might be flirting with the edge. I remind you, life on the edge is dangerous. Our text gives us an example.

We like to plan ahead. If we could look into the future, we would probably want to see all that we could see, but we cannot do so. We, therefore, can only take one day at a time.
Our text speaks of the salvation of sinners, of which Paul gives digression and defines what which we call, the Gospel (Acts 26:23). It is, then, my objective, to look into our text and expound upon the universal Gospel.
Our text deals with the matter of praise. I believe that praise is an important facet of the Christian's response in honoring God. Let us see what the Psalmist discussed.
With so much pain and suffering around us, we must consider our response. How would I deal with tragedy? How would I cope in times of severe affliction? What if that event happened to me?
My objective is to remind you that although this life is not a bed of roses, God will give us every grace we need to live for Him.
If you think about it, a good deal of our life is spent in preparation. What we find in our text is Jesus addressing His coming again. If you will note the following verses, He speaks on preparation. Let us concern ourselves with the Second Coming, the coming judgment, and the preparation for these events.
We are all familiar with light. Lights illuminate so things can be seen. Lights brighten the way. Light shines, allowing discernment. Lights manifest the difference between good and evil.
The Bible describes the truth about salvation. Have you heard such truth? Do you believe such truth? Are you a genuine Christian? If not, perhaps you will hear the truth today and be saved.
Our text describes the dangers of using circumstances to determine God's will. Conditions might give direction to our decision-making, but then again, they might not. Seek God's will.
