LIFE IS WORTH WHILE
“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him”. Colossians 3:17
Nothing is more disastrous than aimless drift! God endows each soul for a distinct purpose. Probably in every life there is a lucid moment, when we take our bearings, and there flashes before us a glimpse of the life-work for which we were sent forth. We stand on the mount of vision, like Moses, and see the pattern of the tabernacle, which we are presently to erect. God has a purpose for the soul, as well as for the body, all the members of which were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them (Psalm 139:16). Is it conceivable that He should spend thought and care on the body, and have no purpose for the soul? But if that be so, He will reveal His will; He will gradually unfold our life-purpose step by step. Let us go steadily forward reckoning on our Almighty Friend to supply the needed grace, wisdom, and strength.
When the captain of a cricket team leaves the pavilion for the wicket, the crowds watching his every movement, he is probably saying to himself: “I am going to score my hundred, to say the least!” As he faces the man yonder, who may be one of the swiftest and cleverest bowlers in the county, it is as though he says: “You may do your best, but I am going to win out!” It is in such a spirit that each of us should step out to face life: “I am going to win through, by God’s grace.”
Never forget that God is working with you. “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.” He will not desert the work of His own hands! In my long life of eighty-one years, I have experienced more fluctuations and difficulties than fall to many, but I unhesitatingly assert that where God gives the plan, He stands Surety for the result! Dare to trust Him and keep in step with Him as He leads you onward. – F. B. Meyer
