LIFE happens

Recently I have been keeping my eyes open and paying a lot of attention to all that happen around me. Taking the time to analyze, think through and ask the Lord what is really happening. Writing about it reminds me of King Solomon, the man that spend his time analyzing ants, locusses and lizards.

Lately there are many programs, books and teachings about going to the next level, getting your life in order or making your business succesful. I must say that I agree with a majority of them. Nonetheless a lot of people has forgotten the God-factor in things. We can sit and plan our whole life, work on it and lose it all in one day. Then again we can do it, and end up extremely succesful.

There are 2 verses in the Bible that really caught my attention concerning these things. Both of them written by King Solomon himself. He wrote: "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails" (Prov 19:21) and "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens" (Eccl 3:1). These are both universal principles. Whether you believe in Karma, higher powers or the Everlasting God.

All of this might sound depressing, but there is good news that comes with it. We always have the Lord on our side to guide us and protect us. Even when things go wrong and it is our fault, He is there to love on us. These are just some of the ways that the Lord shows His great love towards us. With that in mind, it is easy to come to the conclusion that no matter how you look at it, we are better off with the Lord on our side.
