Thankful for Life

Testify Sunday 

So I woke up early this morning thinking. My thoughts were on the concept of life; how we wake up in the morning, go about the day (carrying out various activities) and at night, we go to bed with the intent of waking up the next morning. This 'routine' or 'practice' goes on for days, weeks, months and years. I tried to imagine how far we have come as humans on earth, how much technology has evolved, how we have been able to understand the concept of life; though still limited to our interpretation. As a result of our knowledge about life, there are evidently lots of speakings, write-ups, books, blogs, videos, etc on eating right, exercising right, getting the right degree, making money, being financially independent, having a family, dating, environmental safety, conserving the earth, best holiday locations to visit and so on....I thought to myself, these are really great things, great tips on getting the best results out of the life we have. However, I became more aware that none of these ideas actually are guidelines on how to 'get or obtain life itself'. This highlights the truth that
'life is a gift' and the true concept of life can only come from the giver of life. 

Some people might struggle with the concept of God, hence there are various beliefs on a supreme being, how the earth came into existence, how the human race emerged, how it has evolved over the years and so on. Regardless of what we choose to believe, the truth that is and will always be is 'life is a gift and the giver of life still remains GOD. 

'It is good to proclaim God's unfailing love in the morning and His faithfulness in the evening', 

'Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer. 

"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honour and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created."

'For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), "I am the LORD, and there is none else'.

With a thankful heart, I testify today that I am thankful for life, thankful most especially to the giver of life:God almighty. 

Have a blessed Day!
