Message from Scripture: 5/15/2021

 

Our message from Scripture today is Psa. 139:16. “Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.”

 

Life is a gift. We can rightly call it such by considering the process from which a human life originates. No one brought themselves into existence, but instead by two people joining as one. Of course, not every child born has the benefit of a loving, caring set of parents, but that doesn’t negate how special life itself is. No matter the commitment, or lack thereof, of the two people who bring a child into this world, the process of life was instituted and still cared for by God.

 

The eternal existence we have promised by God is not disconnected from the temporal life we now live in the flesh. The choices we make in life today, and the goals for which we live, determine which eternity we will have, either of joy or of judgment. We must always remember, no matter our circumstances in life, in all ways and at all times, God loves us with a never ending love. The coming of the Son of God into the world, and His death for our sins, is evidence of God’s love, and provides for eternal life.

 

We live in a sinful world, and we all have a sin problem, but this can never negate the love of God for us, or His help and encouragement, His blessings, and His promises in Christ. Never give up, for your life is precious to God, and in Christ will last an eternity. Live a faithful life for Him, so your eternity can be what God intends, which is only His best. If we humble ourselves, and yield ourselves to God, in Christ we have assurance of hope, of a life worth living today, a life beyond measure tomorrow. As Paul tells us,  “Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up” (Gal. 6:9).

 

Today, realize how special you are to God and how much He cares for you as you go about serving your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless.
