What On Earth

Do you ever wonder why you are alive? For what do you really strive? A beautiful new house with the manicured lawn? State of the art fishing equipment used even before dawn? A Lexus,SUV, or Hummer showing off in the driveway? Or a supercharged Harley that "flies" down the highway? Or is it the big job promotion that puts you on the top of the mountain and has everyone praising you as they gather around the drinking fountain? Or maybe it is that "babe" you need on your arm... who thinks the world of you because of your charm? Quite possibly it is that emerald necklace or that perfect, colorless, diamond ring? But you know that you can't settle for anything, it's got to be the most equisite bling - bling. But the Creator says that all this "stuff" will one day be destroyed by fire. And we know this as the absolute truth, because one thing God cannot be is a liar. So since we know this to be true, what is it then that we must do? We need to connect with Him, stick to Him like glue. Without Him our sky appears gray, but with Him, we see so much blue. We must praise Him and worship Him for who He is and what He has done for us. That is really what he created us for, yes, in Him alone we must place our trust. Then we need to find what is important to the King... His passion for people and His amazing love for them. And His intense desire for everyone to draw so very close to Him. So we must think about more than ourselves. In fact, a magnet is more what we must be. Drawing some toward Jesus the Messiah, In that, He would be extremely pleased. Remember that everything we experience in this life is just temporal. Except His word and our relationship with Him (or without Him),which is eternal. So praise Him and worship Him, He who sacrificed His very life for you. And help to "magnetize" others, that is the least we can do.
