Life Has A Way

There’s a lot to be said regarding life, both negative and positive. For one thing, life on this planet is not easy, for we live in a harsh and cruel environment, where many times life is not held in high esteem by our fellow man. Plus the fact that there are many obstacles and challenges along life’s way, many of which are not pleasant to endure (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

Thus, using the inspired Scriptures as a guide, the following are some of my observations regarding life:

  • Life has a way of telling us that we are not as smart as we think we are (Ecclesiastes 2:1-23; Luke 12:13-21; cf. Psalm 39:6).
  • Life has a way of humbling us in order to bring us closer to God (2 Chronicles 33:1-13; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; cf. Psalm 119:67-71; Luke 15:11-24; Hebrews 12:5-11).
  • Life has a way of motivating us to set proper priorities (2 Kings 20:1-6; cf. Matthew 6:33).
  • Life has a way of causing us to inwardly reflect on our life (Luke 15:11-17; cf. 2 Corinthians 13:5).
  • Life has a way of eventually working out all circumstances for our benefit if we are faithful to the Lord (Genesis 50:14-22; Esther 3-9; Acts 16:16-34; cf. Romans 8:28).
  • Life has a way of telling us that a godly lifestyle is the best lifestyle (contrast Deuteronomy 6:24-25; Deuteronomy 10:12-13; 1 Timothy 4:7-8; 1 Timothy 6:5-6, with Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
  • Life has a way of teaching us that victory does not always belong to the swift, but to those who are steadfast (1 Corinthians 15:58; cf. Colossians 2:5; Hebrews 3:6,14).
  • Life has a way of making proper distribution of God’s blessings (Acts 2:41-45; Acts 4:31-35; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15; cf. Malachi 3:8-13).
  • Life has a way of teaching us that there is a Supreme Being, and He is in complete control (Daniel 4-5; cf. Acts 17:24-26; Romans 1:16-20; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-3).
  • Life has a way of motivating us to seek eternal things (1 Corinthians 15:12-22; Hebrews 11:1-16,32-40; cf. Colossians 3:1-4; Hebrews 12:1-2).

Life has a way.
