Whats more important....

So I go to thinking about this earlier today and its....is it more important to live for your beleifs or to die for them.

Kind of a wierd thought I know but really.....Sometimes I really think it is tougher to live for your beliefs then anything else. Stay true to your convictions through thick or thin.

Just a thought

As I sit here trying to figure out how to send responses via Twitter (www.twitter.com/frankiedsc) I have one thing on my mind.....Why is it so easy when things go tits up to blame God.

You loose your job "God why?", friend gets sick "God why you let my friend get sick?"...etc.

What I beleive is this....we live in a world of sin. Because of that sin things are a mess. I do not believe God has purposefully put us in a place of calamity. I take what the prophet Jeremiah says -

"11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer. 29:11

I guess its easy to blame what you can not see and some times it is a bit tougher to have faith when the sea is tossing you around but I beleive God calls us to remain faithful in the good and bad and if you can survive the bad you will only come out on top not just spiritually but just period.

We have to strive to trust God no matter what.
