The Gift Of Life

  God has given us the gift of life and how we live our lives shows how we appreciate the giver of the gift. Life is so precious, but in living many days we begin to lose sight of the fact that we don't know when we will die.  We begin to plan months ahead of time not even giving thought one way or the other whether we will live or die. The bible teaches us that a man that is born of a woman is but a few days and this full of trouble. So, let me see if I am looking at this right. First we are promised a few days, so do we really have time to even plan or should we say if God wills we will do thus and thus.
  Secondly, this is full of trouble. When we begin to live more than one day at a time we are really adding more trouble to our days . I don't know about you, but I have enough going on at times than to have some added troubles. Now, consider this when we bought for instance a new car. Oh, how we were washing , waxing, looking for scratches, parking way away from other cars thinking we will not suffer any damage. All this to only treat it as a used car after some point.  We are so excited with the newness of things but as soon as the excitement wears off  we are now looking for something else.
  There is nothing to hard for the Lord that anyone should subject themselves to committing suicide. You can cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you.  God Says:"Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me for My yoke is easy and My burdens are light". In other words God wants to govern you about  not allowing life to over work you or  your pains from relationships (friends, family, and associates) to cause you distress. Yes, we don't always get the best breaks in life , we suffer hardships, we worry but we have a relationship with God to the extent we begin to trust Him more and more each day. this is what allows us to be victorious, making our lives much easier.
 We did nothing to deserve life nor can we do anything to keep it. I will say this, you can prolong your days by honoring your mother and father this was a promise from God. So, now how will you live your life?
