Place your bet

Place your bet
The apostle Paul writing to Timothy said,
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17.
As a believer in Christ Jesus, I believe there is a God. It’s that simple. As a result I will honour Him in all I do. I will praise him and glorify His name. I will as the psalmist states,
“Praise God in his sanctuary; 
praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him for his acts of power; 
praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, 
praise him with the harp and lyre, 
praise him with tambourine and dancing, 
praise him with the strings and flute, 
praise him with the clash of cymbals, 
praise him with resounding cymbals. 
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 
Praise the LORD.” 
                           Psalm 150.
Those who do not believe in God may think I’m foolish, but so be it. In worshipping God I have lost nothing but will one day receive eternal life.
As Blaise Pascal put it.
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.
So where do you place your bet?
Please think about it.
