Everyday in the US alone 115 people die in car crashes, that is one death every 13 minutes. In a blink of an eye you can lose control of the wheel, a relationship, your attitude, your feelings, of God, and this all effects your time here on earth. Most times when we get into a car the first thing on our minds is not how we could possibly die in a car accident. But it happens. Just like any other disaster happens. Most people that leave the earth "too early" never get to accomplish their life goals. Every person on earth strives to discover what their purpose is here on earth. And 99% of the time we feel like we have found our "destiny". What we call our "destiny" is just happiness. First off we are not living for ourselves. And you might think "well God is very selfish if He thinks that we are all just gonna bow down and live for Him." If you are thinking that also remember this, if God was selfish do you think He would die on the cross for this sinful world? God once walked the same earth that we stand on today, and do you know why? God the father sent His only son to the earth to live our "humanly" life in hope that we would follow Him so that we would not perish but have eternal life. The son of God lived a life here on earth just like we do, and He also went through hardship just like we do everyday. But, just like car crash victims now, His life was taken too early. It happened in the flash of an eye. Did He really die because He claimed to be the one and only God? Yes, that is true but look deeper. God was sent to earth with a mission to bring glory to His kingdom just like we were born with a purpose. We are all not only different in appearance but our spiritual gifts and our spiritual missions are all different. The bottom line is that everyone was born for a reason, some times children are brought into and taken out of the world in a wrong way. Buy as crazy as it seems, God planned for all of that to happen because He knows everything that will happen and sometimes He doesn't prevent things for a reason. So let me ask you something...do you wake up every day and strive to discover yourself and what you are? Is there times when you just don't know who you are suppose to be? Well I can help. Chances are, you aren't finding "your" true meaning in life because you don't include God. Instead of waking up everyday to figure out yourself and your destiny. Wake up with the mind set that your are ready to discover who God created you to be. He set us here on earth for a specific amount of time and don't waste that time searching for the wrong thing. Once you discover the path on which will lead you to who God created you to be, you will live a more meaningful life. If you just live for yourself and get mad if you never get to experience things then you have no body to blame but yourself. Because your life will happen in a flash and then you will be carrying your cross. But will you be carrying the cross for yourself or for God? I challenge you this week to evaluate your life. Are you just waking up everyday for your own purposes, or are you actually seeking the destiny God has set out for you? It gonna be hard to follow His purpose for your life but I can guarantee that it will end up a lot better then what you had planned.
~Our life is easily displayed by a rope our time on earth is the very tip of the rope while the rest of the long unending rope is our time in heaven so don't get discouraged by the struggles of finding your meaning God has for you. I strongly encourage you to go to this link by Francis Chan, it will explain this more in depth in a different way from the lesson today.
