LIFE - A game of chance?

With the passing of time, as the days roll by and years elapse, we live on. But have you stopped to ponder why you are here? Have you taken a break to ask why things happen the way they do? Is life a product of coincidental occurrences or is it supposed to run in a predestined manner leading to a predefined destination? Is life a game of chance?
Unfortunately, many people, even believers do not really understand what life is all about. Some think they are only here by accident and can be gone anytime without prior notice. Hence, they strive to get the best out of life for personal benefits within the limited and uncertain duration they have. They are full of fear, uncertainty and sometime boredom because to them, life is nothing but a routine – work, eat, sleep, wake …………. Such people accept anything that comes their way. They live without vision, purpose and direction. Such people get little or no excitement out of life. They have no sense of fulfillment because they actually aim at nothing; they follow the crowd and pursue vanities.
Nevertheless, I’ve got news for you: Life is meant to be ENJOYED and not ENDURED. What do I mean? Should we pursue vanities, accumulate the “treasures” of this life and stay relaxed? What’s the enjoyment all about? The true enjoyment in life comes when you know why you are here and you find yourself fulfilling that purpose. With or without the treasures of this life, you’ll be happy knowing that you are fulfilling destiny. You’ll be content with what you have and God will provide you with all you need to fulfill destiny. You’ll cease from struggling and the pursuit of vanities. The things men struggle for and run after will begin to “struggle for” and “run after” you. Having the treasures of this life will make no difference to you because your heart will be fixed – fixed on God. You will then be able to use the treasures of this life to store up eternal dividends for yourself. Then you can have a clearer view of life: working, eating, sleeping, waking ………… are put together to enable you fulfill destiny. Then you would have crossed the ocean of uncertainty and the desert of fear on your way to the land of destiny. Life then has a meaning and you’ll be happy you are here.
Trials will surely come; the dark hours are sure to come, but you can always come out victorious. The night will certainly fall but the thickness of the darkness has never prevented the breaking of the day. With a sense of purpose, life becomes worth living; existence becomes interesting.
You are not an accidental creature, living only to die. You are not to live by chance – following the crowd and taking things as they come. Get a vision, discover your purpose and be focused. That is the secret of true joy in life.
May the Lord help us to get life-visions, pursue God-given purposes and fulfill destiny.
