The Fragility of Life…🌫

Preamble

2020 has taught many things. One of which is life is very fragile…

I have thought more intentionally about life and death this year and God has been faithful to help me through the stages and He will keep helping me. Amen.

What is life?

Today you are here

Tommorrow you are not

Today you laugh

Tommorrow you cry

Today you live

Tomorrow you die

It is a watch clock

And our life fades with each tick

What are you hoping for?

Where does your treasure lie?

If it is in this world

I hope you think again

Because this world will fade away

Along with all the treasures kept inside.

The Bible in multiple passages talked about the fragility of life, however it is only as one meditates and observes happenings, do we realize the truths in the word of God.

James 4, 13 Come now [and pay attention to this], you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and carry on our business and make a profit.” 14 [g]Yet you do not know [the least thing] [h]about what may happen in your life tomorrow. [What is secure in your life?] You are merely a vapor [like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot] that is visible for a little while and then vanishes [into thin air]. 15 Instead [i]you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and we will do this or that.” (AMP) 

With this, it is important to know where our values and purpose for life lies in. If it is not planted and rooted in God, where else is it?

Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (KJV) 

It is important to God’s will for your life so that you may walk in that will. Do not live haphazardly. Live with a purpose.

Ephesians 5, 15 Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], 16 [b]making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is. (AMP) 

We cannot do God’s will if we do not allow Him to lead us in all our activities.

Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. (KJV)

Share this prayer with me:

God, I thank you for my life. I am grateful for life you have given me. Help me to know your will and to walk in it everyday. Help me stand the test of time. Help me walk in your truth. And may my treasure continue to rest in You. For in Jesus name I pray. Amen

Announcement!

On 5th of August, a fiction would be released…

Yay! 🎊🎉

However, today’s announcement is not about that.

I have been brooding over this for a long time and I have decided to do it.

Sincerely, many things are still in the way but since this thought insisted on staying in my heart, I have decided to move with it and see what happens afterwards.

The BOOK section on my blog is for the books I have written, and soon I am preparing another Book review section for books I have read (that are not mine).

I have read many books in my life, and for the last 4 years, I have made more intentional focus on Christian non-fiction. I still read other books in between (mainly African fiction) and it has been an interesting journey so far.

I have been able to share my thoughts regarding certain books with people close to me and I do think that some of these books will benefit everyone.

That said, I am announcing that a new page for Book reviews would soon be developed and this area would be open for those who would like reviews for their books too.

A sketch of my criteria can be seen in my Contact page but will be updated as time goes on.

Honestly, to be a reader is to be a reviewer 😁.

Okay……

The page would be soon developed to give a better insight on how it would appear. In the mean time, I would try to organize the books I would give a review on.

My current read is Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee (❤)

N. B I am not receiving any book yet but if you would like to send a book, contact me via the Contact page so I can keep a tab and get back to you at the right time.

See you on the 5th and until when the Book review page for other books is available.

Still….
