“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving...” Psalm 26:7

Vol. 13, No. 5 May 2004

Do you feel like you keep blowing it and blowing it and nothing seems to change?  It makes you feel like “What’s the use?”  Well, you must come past this feeling and fight back.  Your very destiny is at stake. The key is continual repentance.  Why?  Because God is for you!  God is bringing you to glory.  When you keep blowing it, the enemy comes and tells you, “What’s the use?”  But God is looking to see if you are being trained to handle the difficulties of life so that you may rule and reign with Him. 

I must admit, at times I don’t know if it is worth it.  But then when repentance operates and the glory of God sweeps over me, I am restored to His eternal purpose and I can continue on the path made for me.  It is all I have and all I want.  When I think about the futility of life, there is nothing else I want.  Like the Preacher in Ecclesiastes:  Ecc 1:2  “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.”

Once again at the end of the Book we hear the same thing: Ecc 12:8  “Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is] vanity.”

But thanks be to God through it all He came to the correct finale: Ecc 12:13  “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.”

There is no other way to fulfill destiny and purpose.  As long as you keep the path of life in Christ Jesus it will produce much righteous, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.  After all, isn’t that what the Kingdom of God is all about?
