DONT WASTE YOUR LIFE The Apostle Paul didn’t have an easy life, but he dedicated it to God and God did great and mighty things through him. Job survived through many sufferings. He lost his kids, his house, his riches, and his health, and he still had faith in God through it all (though he struggled). Esther risked being put to death for her act of boldness, but she sacrificed her life and comfort to save her people. I could go on and on. But what I’ve come to learn is that our lives are not meant to be easy. We are called by God to suffer through many trials, dangers, and difficulties. Our culture glorifies youth. But our lives are not meant to be easy. God has called us to go to great lengths, to suffer through difficulties, dangers, and trials, to pour our energies into glorifying Him and enjoying Him forever. And it’s so easy in our world today to waste out lives on trivial pursuits, empty gain, earthly pleasures, and to lose focus on what’s truly important. The World Life Expectancy chart states that the average person lives up to the age of 77. How are we going to spend those years? How are we going to live our lives? Are we going to use that time doing the things we want to do, staying tucked away, safely, inside our comfort zone, or are we going to charge across the frontier of conquering some amazing – maybe even crazy – adventures God has in store for us? Are you willing to surrender your life to Christ, no matter the cost, no matter the difficulties, no matter your shortcomings, or feelings of incompetency, to do hard things, right here, right now, for the glory of God? The choice is yours.
