Galatians 1:13-24
Quote 15 - "But God in his grace chose me even before I was born, and called me to serve him."
Quote 23-24 - "They knew only what others were saying: 'The man who used to prosecute us is now preaching the faith that he once tried to destroy!' ... And so they praised God because of me"
Psalm 139:1-3, 13-15
Quote 13-15 "You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart. When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother' womb, You knew that I was there."
Luke 10:38-42
Quote 41-42 "Martha, Martha! You are worried and troubled over so many things, but just one is needed. Mary has chosen the right thing and it will not be taken away from her."
Welcome back my friends after a very long break. My life has been so hectic, I've drifted away from my work within the lord and I am back.
The lord has chosen to bless me with a Son, who has shown new perspective of my life for me. Praise be his name for the blessings which he has chosen to bestow upon my family !!!
But that is not the topic of the day.
The topic of the day is about choices. We often surround ourselves in so much of work. We are practically drowning in our own. With all the things which we are desperately trying to hold on together, we have lost focus in life altogether.
Lets break this down .... Im sure all of us have achievements which we pride ourselves in. From the days of our childhood, upto now, there must be so many things which we have excelled in, achieved and made a mark of.
We all have those remarkable, interesting stories to tell our friends over a cup of coffee or even a mug of beer, of the incredible things which happened to us and how we made it through. Our eyes have a certain gleam when we recall those memories and we pride ourselves in what we have done in our lives.
Hang on, if God created us and knew us before we were born, If he called us to serve before we were born, If he put us together in our mother's womb, I tell you, without his knowledge a single hair would not have falled from our bodies. The entire life which we have lived is a blessing from him. Yet, how often do we recall his name, if not in thanks, atleast in prayer to remember what we have gone through and how the lord has taken us through.
And this is the choice. We choose to be busy, we choose to be surrounded by friends and people, we choose to be healthy or not, yet, do we choose to keep god in our lives ? Do we choose to let god lead our lives and enrich it ? Do we choose to accept Jesus Christ as our savior ? As Jesus says, if we choose the right thing, it will not be taken away from us. Which means, everything else can and will be taken away ... someday!
Thats an ultimatum which none of us are ready to accept. It is difficult as humans to comprehend that someday, all this which we call our lives, will be nothing. On that day, do we wish to pride ourselves in holding on to the one truth in life ? That Jesus is our savior ? Or do we regret not making that choice when we had the opportunity to ?
That choice my friends, is upto you ! Praise be to god and blessed be your day !
