But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break in or steal (Matthew 6:20).
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them," while the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are not darkened, and the clouds do not return after the rain (Ecclesiastes 12:1-2). Make hay while the sun is shining, delay your call no more. The Lord is shouting, the time is now, now, now.... no more wavering between two opinions, no more chasing after lust.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God (1 Peter 4:2). How hard it is to crucify the flesh, how hard to always see with eyes of faith. You have been promised a mansion in heaven, not a shack on earth. Lift up your head my weary warrior, tell the devil to take a hike.
You are blessed and not cursed, a child of the most high God. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand (Psalm 16:11). His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. Those who come again and again to the altar, to lay down their life for Him.
Those with mustard seed faith, and a humble heart that will admit sin. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you (John 14:20). And together we will smash down mountains (Isaiah 45:2)....
