A Moment with Marc...

Reason to Live

There was a very cautious man
Who never laughed or played.
He never risked, he never tried,
He never sang or prayed.
And when one day he passed away
His insurance was denied
For since he never really lived,
They claimed he never died.

We smile at that little poem, but, sad to say, many people “live” like this.  They exist for a period of years but never know true life.  Benjamin Franklin said:  If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing. 

Well, to live for God and His glory is to do things worth the writing.  We were made for His pleasure and we exist for His glory.  So, when you first get up in the morning give thanks to God for a new opportunity to fulfill your reason for being!  See every day in the light of His purposes for your life.

1 Corinthians 10:31 says, Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.  What a reason to live!  My prayer is that God will use each of us every day for His indescribable glory and for His sovereign purposes.

What a joy to be part of the fellowship at FBC, Sun Lakes!  Week by week God continues to work in our midst.  Pray that the joy keeps increasing and that God’s love keeps flowing.  God is good… all the time!

Soli Deo Gloria,
Pastor Marc

P. S.  Zig Ziglar says he is such an optimist he would go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with him!
