At a church camp, the speaker was talking about how God has a purpose for everything in His creation. He explained that there were reasons for dirt, wind,
trees, animals, even cockroaches. One of the children raised his hand to ask a question, “If everything God made has a purpose, why did He make poison ivy?”
That really stumped the speaker till one of the children made a suggestion, “God made poison ivy because He wanted us to know that there are some things we should keep our grubby little hands off.”
When we propose to ourselves to do something wrong, we need to have prayed enough and thought enough about the consequences to have the good sense to keep our grubby little hands off of some wrong purposes in life.
As it says in 2nd Corinthians 5:17: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.
Why go to the trouble? Why not just drift with the tide or go with the flow? Because you are more than a stick of wood. You are a creation of Almighty God and you owe it to yourself and to your God to be the very best you can be.
If your life is to have meaning, you must have something TO DO, something TO LOVE, and something TO HOPE FOR. Otherwise you may well spend your life whining rather than winning the race. And a wasted life is like a giant tear that never stops flowing.
To make life worthwhile, you need to be a traveler rather than a tourist. You must, in a positive, God-driven way, participate in the process of life rather than just stand on the sidelines and watch as the opportunities pass you by.
We have a choice: victory or victim-hood. And when we choose victory through God, therein lays the force of focus: a spiritual grounding, a new appreciation of time and our obligation to it. Someone has wisely observed, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 put wings on the following thoughts and we should learn to fly with them.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the Water
that sends out its roots to the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.
