THE FRAILTY OF HUMANITY

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: How frail is humanity? How short is life, and how full of trouble. Like a flower, we blossom for a moment and then wither.” Job 14: 1-2

TODAY’S MESSAGE: The life we have been blessed with here on this earth is just a quick breath away from being over. The younger we are the less we think about our humanity and just how fragile it is. It is here one day and gone the next. Just as Job was describing in 14: 1-2, our lives are full of troubles, some with more than others. However, our problems are nothing when they are fit into the whole picture puzzle. When it gets right down to it, our lives should be full of the joy of the Lord. We should be spending most of our time understanding the spirit world (the unseen vs the seen) because that is just what we are, spirits. All of our strength, joy and understanding comes from our God in heaven who is a spirit. Our moments should be concerned with what Jesus did for us so that we can live out our lives with dignity and a love for our God in heaven. We should be praying always, listening for answers and praising our God for all of his goodness. Instead, we find ourselves, in many cases, melting away in despair because of the troubles and problems we must face each day. If we are focused on Jesus, these problems will amount to nothing. Yes, they are still there, and new ones will rise up to take the place of those that have been conquered. However, with our Lord on our side there is nothing but joy that we should be expressing. Our faith should be increasingly strong supported with strong words that support or faith. We are not to be thrashing around in pity for ourselves or for anyone around us. Jesus has already conquered our battles and the war. Life on this earth is precious. Each day is to be enjoyed through Jesus and not anguished over because of our own missteps in life. Life is short and we must enjoy it by loving our Lord and living on his behalf. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
