I can not describe the craziness this world is in right now...all of the chaos in the Middle East (Egypt, Libya, and more-take your pick). Then you look to the chaos here in the US (economics, government, unions/teachers/pensions, etc). Then if you are like me you have loved ones who either themselves, their families, or their careers are in chaos. Moral of the story, chaos is every where and the Devil is darn good at creating it.
BUT, this is where perspective comes in...although all of the things mentioned above are terrible and difficult and complicated...we KNOW the outcome, we KNOW that God wins, we KNOW that we do not live for life in this world only. I take comfort in knowing that despite the chaos this world brings, my GOD and SAVIOR wins!
In a conversation with a dear loved one today, a lot of these depressing and negative things came up. For a lot of people it is hard to not get overwhelmed by the hardships and difficulties of life...
although I may have my moments of pitty, I am always able to come back to the conclusion and final chapter of the story. I live my life on Earth to glorify God, plain and simple. What ever form or fashion my life takes...God is to be glorified and He deserves it!
Life on Earth is not meant to be heaven on Earth...through loving God and living our lives to point back to Him, we know our ultimate peace and comfort will come in Heaven. That is the sweetest and best promise of all. Earth is temporary, our treasure is Heaven. Regardless of what comes your way here on Earth, please keep that in the forefront of your mind...God wins, and our trophy is Heaven and all of its promises!
