Title: Devotional for Thursday 8/23/2012
Post by: Roostem33 on August 23, 2012, 08:06:18 AM
How should I live my life on this earth? What purpose does God have in mind for me, now that I have received His Son Jesus Christ into my heart?

Many people simply want to prolong their lives, rather than try to find their purpose in life. Certainly medical science is helping us live longer lives. We can add years to our lives, but we cannot add life to our years. Should our primary goal be to prolong our lives, or should it be to live life to its fullest?

Sometimes, heartaches, trials, and tragedies can threaten to squeeze all of the meaning out of life. In our darkest moments, we may even wonder why God leaves us on the planet. But if our heavenly Father has chosen to give us life for another day, we can be sure that He has a purpose in doing so. We need to wait on Him, keep our eyes open to every opportunity, and trust Him daily for the grace to keep us going.


You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house" (Matthew 5:14–15) 


Have a great week,
Jody

Thanks, Jody.  The Lord presents us with many opportunities to help our neighbor.  May He give us stronger eyes and faith to see them.
