Ecclesiastes 7:14-15
When times are good be happy, but when times are bad consider God has made the one as well as the other, therefore, a man cannnot discover anything about his future. In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these a righteous man perishing in his righteousness and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
In life people are faced with trials and tribulations in which may result in us making human mistakes that are considered ungodly. God places people and things in our life for a various reasons. Many stay for a season and many come to teach us lessons. God gives us things but he doesnt enable us to use them, its up to us to figure out the appropriate ways in which to use the pleasures of life, because at the end of it all everything in life is meaningless, if its not to glorify the Lord.
Because many people fall short of God's callings and become consumed into the negatives of the world doesnt mean his or her life is destined for failure, no man nor woman can predetermine someone else fate only God can. Many of us fall short of hearing what God has to say to us but God doesnt stop speaking.
Louisiana prison gives inmates a chance to earn ministry degrees. "Angola is commonly known for holdng some of the worse criminals in New Orleans. Derrick like many other prisoners said " I ran from my calling all my life. But i like to put it like this God finds people wherever they go." Derrick says he heard God's call early. He only wishes he'd answered sooner. By the time he did he was serving a life sentence for murder.
At Angola God has been finiding men reguarly. So far about 150 of them have earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree from the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and another 100 are on track to graduate.
EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS MEANINGLESS!!!!! Life isnt always smooth sailing there will be bad as well as good but as long as we learn that our goal in life is to glorify God then our mission is complete.
"If you dont live for something, you'll die for nothing"!!!!!
