NOT ABOUT US…

It has never been about us… from the beginning till now and ever after.
We are not our own idea. Let us check it again, did we decide to be born when we were born, how we were born, where we were born and to whom we were born? Better still, who said it was even our parent’s idea?
If it is our parent’s idea, some of us won’t even make it here- contraceptives would have killed us, we would have dried up in used condoms…, and I live the rest to your imagination. Furthermore, if child birth were the works of man, then there won’t be couples desiring a child but without one…
So if it was not our idea to be here when we came, how we came, through whom we came and where we arrived at, who said, then, we can live our lives by our idea?
These questions, if we sincerely ask ourselves and answer them (sincerely too), our lives would have more meaning, our decision making simpler, our objectives clearer and our values stronger.
Can we imagine our car saying it made itself, came to our house by itself and would run in a way that it chooses? Say for example, it now determines that it would move on specific days of the week, the ignition would now become the brake, and would rather drive itself than we driving it (we won’t control it or set parameters for it)? How do we see this scenario and what is our feeling about it?
But is this not how we live?
The Bible said
So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female,” Genesis 1:27 (GNB)
“Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations”. Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV)
These two scriptures, among many others clearly stated our origin, and simple wisdom requires that if we are not our idea, we should seek and live by the idea of our originator over every details of our short life over here…

We should know that
“…the way of man does not belong to man; it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.” Jeremiah 10:23 (NKJV)
Guys, it is not about us. It is about our maker and owner. Just as our cars, phones, computers, spoons, plates, houses etc must not live independently from us, so we cannot live independently from our maker. So we do not become like a generation spoken of in Romans 1:21-32.
I wish you Peace.
