You decide!

"Consider the work of God:
    who can make straight what He has made crooked?"
                                                                     Ecclesiastes 7:13


"Consider the work of God" in other words study or observe God's work, pay attention to what He's doing and realize that He has the ultimate power to decide of what's to happen. 
 
When I think of this concept of "God knows everything and makes everything according to His will" I start questioning my existence with questions such us "If God already knows what's going to happen, knows if I'm going to go to Heaven or to Hell, and already knows every detail of my life that has happened in the past and going to happen in my future, then why am I living out this pre-set life that already has an ending to it?"
 
Seems logical...
But these thoughts are very far away from the truth.
 
Jesus came to this earth, served, died and rose again to establish a direct contact between people who are struggling in sin and the Holy LORD.
 Jesus has become the door for sinner to get to God, to get to know Him and get a greater understanding of one's life and existence and live to the fullest potential so our joy could be complete.
 
God did everything just for us, sinners. This whole world exists just for us, God created the sun and placed it in such perfect distance from earth that it is not too far that the earth would freeze and not to close that earth would burn, the moon is orbiting the earth so that the waters on earth are regulated just perfectly, the mixture of gasses in the air is just right to provide life for humans, animals and plants...etc....and many more amazing things that God has created just for us...for ungrateful, evil, greedy, and unjust humans. When people wondered so far off fro m God in to their own understanding, Jesus came to the earth willing to do everything for these people who didn't understand that He is here to  give us a chance to get free of all these terrible and heavy burdens and live a full life.
 
 He gave us a choice and it is up to us to choose life or death; to live the life with Christ ( people might not understand you but God will be there for you always) or to turn to our own ways and parish in our foolishness.  
 
People make fun of this concept of God's plan and free will, that they cannot co-exist...
 
God's plan is for every person who believes in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior to not perish but have an everlasting life, but He did give us the freedom to choose, do we want to have an everlasting life by living according to His detailed instructions, or we rather choose to forsake all the warnings and parish?

Of course we all have different life pathways and God's plan is there, are we going to choose to be a part of it? Are we going to choose to be led by God's Word?

" O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me! ...even the darkness is not dark to you;      the night is bright as the day,      for darkness is as light with you ... I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;      my soul knows it very well... How precious to me are your  thoughts, O God!      How vast is the sum of them! ... Search me, O God, and know my heart!      Try me and know my thoughts! 24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,      and  lead me in  the way everlasting! " Psalm 139:1,12,14,17,23,24 This is such an amazing psalm that David wrote down and that we have now. I will never stop being amazed with the relationship that David had with the LORD. This psalm was David's prayer to the LORD, it is written in such a personal and deep level that it is hard to skim over this psalm. This ps...

What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

Image
I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ.  If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me.  Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source?  Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much ev...
