Actor Tim Blake Nelson is quoted as saying, "Really, life is full of contradictions. Life is messy." We have probably all experienced contradictions in life. However, our lives should be built on a foundation that is solid and our faith should remain through all that we face!
When we receive God's grace, we know that we will still experience the realities of living in the world. Because we live in the world, we may experience the contradictions of life. However, we cannot take the gift of our redemption through Jesus Christ lightly. We need to build our lives on Him and know that our faith in Him is for eternity and will outlast the contradictions of the world. We just need to look beyond the contradictions to focus on eternity with God!
Live in this world, but look beyond its contradictions and to eternity with God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your promise of eternity with You. Help me to grow in my faith and to overcome the contradictions of this world until I am with You for eternity. In Jesus I pray, amen.
