Day 6: Life Is a Temporary Assignment

GREETINGS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I TRUST THAT YOU ALL ARE DOING WELL.

PURPOSE DRIVEN DAY 6: LIFE IS A TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT

On yesterday, we spoke about life being a test and trust. Life is a test in the sense that God is paying attention to our daily circumstances, situations, personal interactions, and the way we react to them. Our reactions determine whether we are ready for the next blessing He has in store or whether He still needs to work on us a little using the Holy Spirit, so we can be prepared for advancement to attain His next level of blessings.  Also, Life is a trust because God instilled/entrusted us  with values, gifts, talents, intelligence, favor, opportunities and ability that He expects for us to use while on Earth to accomplish His purpose for our life. And lastly,

Life is Temporary Assignment

 Lord, remind me how brief my time on Earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. Psalm 39:4 (NLT)

I am here on Earth for just a little while. Psalms 119:19 (TEV)

Never forget:
1. Life is extremely brief.  Act accordingly which means discover your purpose, be your purpose and live your purpose. No apologies...live a full life daily.

2. Earth is your temporary Residence. Your only here for a predetermined duration of time. Don't get consumed by the material things or too comfortable here. Make use of everything around you to live a full life, but do not get attached. This is not your final destination. 

AHA MOMENT

In an effort to prevent us from getting to attached to the world and the numerous "things" available, He allows and reasonable amount of "discontent" and "dissatisfaction" in life, so we can look forward to reuniting with Him and going "home...home."  Therefore, that is why we go through personal trials and tribulations,terminal illness, possibly why we experience natural disasters, wars etc. With this ideal that there is a better place which awaits where none of the aforementioned exists, that will give us the peace to seek to know more about God. 

This life is temporary. Today your here. Tomorrow your gone. Utilize your time on Earth the best way you know how...on purpose daily. Don't let life's unfortunate circumstances rob you of joy. Rather, always remember life on Earth is temporary and your real "home ..home" that awaits you is overflowing with an abundance of love, peace, joy and a Father who is waiting to embrace you.


POINT TO PONDER: THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME. 

VERSE TO REMEMBER:  " So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18(NIV) 

QUESTION TO PONDER: How should the fact that life on Earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I'm leaving life right now?

Love Always,

Stephanie
