God is the only one who knows the true meaning of human life

Good day dear friends and welcome to our column «Daily word for spiritual strength» today. Let the mercy of the Lord be with you the whole day today! I thank God for this opportunity to share the word of revelation He put into my heat with you. Yesterday we determined that we were born in order to fulfil a certain task from God.

 

«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them». (Ephesians 2:10).

 

We are saved by Jesus Christ not by our deeds, to be followed by good deeds God has determined for us. Once we realise that He created us, we understand that our life on this Earth is absolutely meaningless without Him, without relationship and collaboration with God. Without Him we would resemble those who lack brain, wandering in the desert, having no certain way to go. Therefore, such people walk in the dark without light, staggering like a drunken man.

 

«He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.» (Job 12:24-25).

 

Describing the destiny of those whose iniquities have separate them from God, the prophet Isiah compared them with living dead.

 

«but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. The way of peace they don’t know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace. Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity. We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are lusty we are as dead men.» (Isiah 59:2,8-10).

 

We will never get to know nor enter the God´s plan for our life without close relationships with God. Without His revelation about His plans and intentions for or life we have no future, no hope. That´s why the Bible calls us to turn to God in prayer and seek His presence with all our heart right after He has revealed the fact that He his a plan for our life.

 

 

«For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.». (Jeremiah 29:11-13).

 

Understanding of your goal and intention is the only thing that leads a man to perfection and satisfaction. Without such revelation about the goal people die and annihilate themselves. Look, what Solomon says about it:

 

«Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;…» (Proverbs 29:18).

 

Revelation about our destiny can only be given to us from above, since we´ve been created by the Almighty God. Without seeking God, studying His word and calling upon Him we are doomed to spend the whole our life cast off restraint, having no real goal in our life.

This is the reason why many people are so unhappy today, regardless of all their achievements and benefits they have got. If you have no idea what the goal of your life is or the course you have chosen doesn´t match the plan God has for you then you won´t have peace in your heart, nor will be happy. Happiness without relationships with God, Creator is a myth, utopia and suffering. Only God knows the true purpose of your life. Scientists, psychologists, philosophers, astrologists, extra-senses, fortune tellers – none of those nor anybody else are able to play the role of God. God created us and He as a Creator alone knows the true purpose of a human life. We just have to call to Him and seek His presence with all our heart then He will reveal His plans to His children.

Let´s continue tomorrow!

Go with Christ!

    1. Set apart some time for prayer and commit to it.2. Plan where you will pray.It does not have to be at home, but you also do not need to turn prayer into some religious ritual. Be creative when you choose the place for prayer. For instance, there was a time in my life when I made walking into prayer time. I called it “a prayer walk”. I went out in the street for the purpose of prayer.

    As we draw closer to God, we will be able to see our self in the light of God. Many people look at themselves from the standpoint of what other people are saying or what they are thinking about themselves. The fact is that only God knows the true states of your heart. As you stand in the presence of God He will help you to see yourself correctly. Not only will you see yourself from God’s perspective, but you will be transformed into His very image.

    “As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers; Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”(Mt.4:18-19)I would like you to pay attention to the word “SAW”, which has been mentioned here twice. Passing by, Jesus saw Matthew and two brothers – Peter and Andrew. Jesus had noticed them, somehow they attracted His attention, Jesus invited them to become a part of His team.

    To do good work means doing what you can do. God never asks you to do something above your abilities.

Do not think of what you cannot accomplish, better do what you can manage then God will lead you into your promised land. Wherever you are, use every opportunity to do what you can do, so you learn doing good works for Jesus then.

    Every human being is a unique work of God. Every one has been given unique abilities and talents. There isn’t one unnecessary person on this earth; there isn’t one insignificant talent or ability. Everything that God created is needed by someone and is intended as a blessing for someone. Look at yourself today in a new light and see that you are a unique personality highly gifted by God; you are a unique specimen. There isn’t another person on this earth like you! But sometimes we are distracted when we start comparing ourselves to others and envying them just because they have something we do not have. For this reason we stop appreciating the things that God has given us and sometimes it makes us passive and inert.

  • Grateful people – they are people able for self-sacrifice! II

    If we learn to appreciate and cherish everything that God does in our lives, then it will be natural for us to sacrifice or build and altar for God.Know that when speaking about sacrifice, God will never ever ask you for something that you do not have! His love does not require that, God’s love is not abusive. If you truly love someone, you will never ask from them what they do not have.Forget about what you do not have, think about what you do have. Be sure that you own a lot!
