On the tenth verse of John ten Pastor Josh did opine
For in this one quote from Jesus is a veritable goldmine
For “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy”
But Jesus comes to bring us life that is filled with joy
About how the enemy steals from us, Pastor Josh did talk
Recognising it is tough to find our path on which to walk
The first area is time or at least how we perceive time
Asking “are we there yet” can become a bad paradigm
Looking to the future is okay, as long as within reason
For per Ecclesiastes three, everything has a season
We should focus on the present and its opportunities
And thus we train so God's future plans we can seize
The second area is when we dwell too much on the past
Memories of both bad and good events should not last
Per Isaiah forty three, the past can muddle the present
In verse nineteen, living in the present is God’s intent
We may have challenges, like streams in the wasteland
But God never fails us, for his promises go as planned
The third area is when we focus on ourselves too much
In Isaiah chapter thirty nine, Hezekiah was out of touch
He cared about his life but not the more important legacy
In Genesis twenty five, Abraham cared for his entire tree
We should each do the same with the next generation
For family, church, and career - build a strong foundation
Thus in conclusion, live each moment as God does intend
And per Second Timothy, fight the good fight until the end
By doing so, we can impact others and create that legacy
And then our rewards will come in heaven for eternity
Remember that we can not take things when we die
Only our relationships with God and people do qualify
