Alive in God
Deuteronomy 30:20
“That you may
love the LORD your God,
that you may
obey His voice, and that you
may cling to
Him, for He is your life and the
length of your
days.” (NKJ)
Apart
from the love of God there is only disappointment and darkness, and it matters
not how rich or famous, or how poor or unknown you may be, because living
without God is not living at all.
Without the Lord, the universe and everything in it would be nothing but
endless chaos—no life. No sunrises or
sunsets, no oceans or mountain streams, no lush forests teaming with wildlife,
nor any fragrance or colors to pleasure our senses. There would be neither gentle breezes nor
refreshing rains. No music, no joy, no
laughter, no children, no love, and no hope.
Without our amazing God, there would be absolute nothingness. And without God’s unconditional love, mercy
and grace, life on this earth would not be very pleasant; it would be nothing
more than a dark and painful struggle to survive—a struggle that no one would survive. When you chose to live your life without acknowledge-ing
there is a God, you are living in denial; not wanting to admit your weakness,
believing you are the one in charge and this life is all about you.
When
you choose the world over God, you are living the life of a fool, because
living apart from the Creator will ultimately lead to some very dire and very
long lasting consequences. When people
rely solely on the physical world and others, this life becomes rather
frivolous because the earth and everything in it will one day pass away. The only thing to be gained by living and
dying apart from the living God of Creation is eternal darkness, forever
separated from the Light, to live in an all consuming darkness with much pain
and suffering and no chance to escape.
If you have not chosen to live in the Way of the Lord, there is no
better time than now to connect with Christ Jesus, your Lord God and
Savior. Surrender to Him and He will
give you a new and better life—one that is truly alive and one that is
everlasting. Now is the time, because
tomorrow may be too late!
A
Whisper of Hope
I
Am…the Way, the Truth, and the key to eternal life. Without Me, your life-journey in this world
will not end well, my child. Life
without the Living God is no life to live, for it becomes all about everything
that will one day disappear. I created
your life to be eternal, and apart from me there is no joy, nor will you find
any peace. The world tries to draw you
away from Me, but do not be fooled, for this life is but a breath; eternity is
forever!
Matthew 16:25-26
If
you try to keep your life for yourself, you will
lose
it. But if you give up your life for Me, you
will
find true life. And how do you benefit if you
gain
the whole world but lose your own soul in the
process? Is anything worth more than your soul? (NLT)
For You are the Fountain of
Life,
the Light by which we see!
(Psalm 36:9)
