THE PAUCITY OF THOUGHT

THE PAUCITY OF SERIOUS THOUGHT

Tuesday, April 15, 2014

 

Proverbs GNB 24:27 Don't build your house and establish a home until your fields are ready, and you are sure that you can earn a living.

Luke KJV 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

  Paucity: a fancy smancy word for scarcity, rareness, lack of, dearth, scarceness.

  Paucity of serious thought is something that old timers see, and though they may not constantly speak of it, do grieve it.

  There is far too much paucity of serious thought today, with obvious evidence.

·         Dating without serious thought of possible enmeshment with undesirable spouse or LTA.

·         Trying marriage without serious thought or preparation for spousal responsibility.

·         Buying property, vehicles, furniture and appliances without serious thought as to preparation or ability to pay for or maintain.

·         Trying marriage again without serious thought or preparation for spousal responsibility.

·         Retiring to a lesser or fixed income while still living with large mortgage(s) and loan debts.

  There are several more items that could be added to the above list, but there is issues that far exceed such listing, questions that require much more serious thought; questions distracted from by the prior list for many.

  Where will I spend eternity? (Jn.3:3; Heb.9:27)

  For the professed believer: Have I seriously considered and prepared for daily and lifetime discipleship, especially that which may involve a sudden call to exceptional duty or death? (Lk.14:27; Heb.9:27)

  What will await me beyond this life? (Mt.6:19-21)

  Before demon paucity!
