OUR LIFE

Psalm 103:14-1614for He knows how we are

formed, He remembers that we are dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like

a flower of the field;16the wind blows over it and

it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

So it seems that…Our Life is NOT that Much Important


Is it?NO, It is NOT!!


So…Why are We Still ‘Here’ For?


So…

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)

So…How Can We Be Fulfilled with Joy?


So…

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5)

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalms 139:14-16)

So…

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:15-17)

Lastly…What Should We Do?


Lastly…

We have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and

joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. (Colossians 1:9-12)

What Should We Do?

Lastly…

Learn humility, patient endurance, & contentment in all circumstances – whatever they are – though we don’t understand God’s reasons (Deuteronomy 29:29).

Wait in faith & patience & keep our sight to the Lord. Coz we’re already on the moving walkway toward Him.
