I'm back. It's been a week since my last post. After my previous blog entitled "Are you afraid of the dark." I cannot think of any topic that I would like to share with you. I keep on praying for God's wisdom but still my brain is empty. My brain is not functioning properly (memory gap????) and besides I am so pre occupied with so many things.
Then last night in our teacher's weekly meeting which was held in our house, the food was so yummy ( steamed rice, deep fried marinated milk fish and squash cooked in coconut milk), before we proceed with our meeting, the teacher in charge will give first short exhortation of any topic of her choice but it was all agreed on our previous meeting that instead of having your own short exhortation we will use the classic and well known book of Rick Warren " Purposely Driven Life". Actually I already read that book but I didn’t study it very deeply. I always have the desire to re-read again that book but I admittedly can't find time for that. And it is my chance now to study it again thoroughly.
WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR? The questions most of all are longing for an answer. As a human we often look for our life's purpose and meaning in what our naked eyes can see. We long for 3 P's (Power, Popularity and Prestige). Things that are tangible. Easily come and easily go. Things that will lead our life into danger. Things that will cause our family and relatives to a big war when we died. Things that we cannot bring to heaven. We measure our success and self worth as a person in all those things. God said in Mat 6:19-21 (TEB) "Do not save riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, save riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are." We are not here to save riches for ourselves, but we are here on earth to save riches in heaven which is intangible.
WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR? We are created by God with only one purpose. To be in service of Him, to glorify and proclaim that He is God. We are here not to do what is our will but to do what is the will of the One who created us. When we have problems or when we want to evaluate ourselves from all the things that we have done, we often seek advices from people, self help books, inspirational or motivational magazine, articles and stories. I didn’t say that it was all wrong but its just only based on self understanding and opinion of the author. Why don’t we try to dig and do our evaluation on the book that was product of God's breathe, 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. And for sure we will be corrected properly. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR? Only for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords …JESUS CHRIST…..
Have a blessed day to all..
God bless
