Longing for eternal life here on earth is no catastrophe!

So many times I had been tempted to entertain the idea that life is happenstance; still deep within I knew that because God knows what to do with each ‘accident’. It is as good as saying God planned it and if God planned it is because he knows how to use it for good and even though all God did was allow it and watch how I deal with it; even then, all is not lost! There is a big God in charge and he knows every move I make; and why.

The life story of Joseph, Job, Daniel, the three Hebrew Brothers, Hannah, Sarah, Abraham, Jesus and countless more are faith-building illustrations to help make it through modern day events.

As Ecclesiastes says, every thing God does is for a reason…to make us stand in awe of him. God makes the same thing happen again and again. Also, Isaiah 30: 19b to 22 is a message of encouragement: “ The Lord is compassionate, and when you cry to him for help, he will answer you. The Lord will make you go through hard times, but he himself will be there to teach you, and you will not have to search for him anymore. If you wander off the road to the right or to the left you will hear a voice behind you saying, “ Here is the road. Follow it.”

Now tell me how could pursuing God and inviting God to pursue me result in disaster!
