Life’s stakes are high. Daryl Maddens Poem hits it well.
Two voices in your head
Struggle for control
The loud voice of the ego
The whisper of the soul….. Read more here at Daryl’s blog
It’s so human to buy a lot of ego stock for the short term and hold, sometimes into eternity, as if we can control the dividends
Instead, Invest here: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.” 1 Peter 5:6
Think of the solid foundation from which we speak. If you believe and know Jesus, you have been forgiven, made whole, and have been made absolutely perfect (way more than a dew drop) before God. “For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” 2corinthians 5:21
Long Term Thinking: Eternity (see you there?)
Gods Ways are...Different 
Well stated, Gary. We don’t control the dividends—even the ones we think we do. For instance, everyone depends on God for the simplest things: sunlight, air, food and water. Another blogger I follow quoted pastor Tony Evans the other day. God says, “If you don’t like the way I do things, get your own universe.” Blessings.

Good one Gary. Definite case of the law of diminishing returns.

Eye has not seen nor ear heard the extent of return on a life of humility to God as an investment…I know, poorly quoted
