Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Inspiring Bible Scriptures On Life

By Jennie Sandoval


Life on earth is governed by a supernatural being called God. God is the initiator of life and the one who controls it so His way of living must be imbibed by all who want to please Him. God's standards are found in Bible scriptures on Life and they must be read on daily basis if you want them to make great impact in you. Many of them are found in both the Old and the New Testaments.

Jeremiah 29:11 is a word of encouragement to those who feel like quitting from the Christian faith because of different kinds of troubles. The verse is saying do not quit because he cares about your welfare. God is faithful and He will never let His children to be afraid.

Christians should depend fully on God. This is summarized in Romans 12:2. The world has its own ways and they are different from the ways of God. The ways of this world are given by the devil while the ways of God are founded by God Himself and they can be found in the Bible.

All things work together for the good of anyone who is truly a child of God. This is what God is letting everyone know in Romans 8:28. He is the God of Heaven and earth and there is no power greater than His. Sometimes these promises do not seem to be forthcoming but even in tough times, just know that God is there by your side.

The importance of salt and light cannot be overemphasized. While salt makes food edible, light is necessary for one to know the right direction. Similarly, Christians are meant to add value to people's lives by being salt in this world. Also, they are meant to instruct and guide people in the right direction. Since light cannot be hidden under a bushel, God's children are not expected to shy away from this responsibility.

According to Matthew 6:33, those who are alive should first seek God's kingdom and be eager to do the things He likes. The second part of the verse indicates that His blessings are automatic for anyone who is born again and interested in pleasing Him. The idea in this verse is similar to what is contained in Job 22:21.

Bible verses on life also give inspiration to those who think they are not important before God. The Bible in Jeremiah 1:5 says that God knew man right from the time he was conceived in his mother's womb. Of course, this also applies to women. He therefore expects you to be calm and rely on His intelligence in making you the best you can be.

Man should rely on God for all the conveniences he needs. This is the message in Matthew 6:25. This verse is only one out of the numerous bible scriptures on life that instruct man to depend on God for everything. Remember the account of the rich fool in the Bible who died because He thought he could do without God's support. He is the one who clothes the flowers and feeds the pigeons. He is willing to do even more of these things for you.
