Dictating the Significance of Life

Several years ago, my office perch was at the front desk of the office. It was the only place to put me and I was asked by our former CEO if I would mind taking on the task of Front Desk duties. This threw everyone into the thought pattern that I had been demoted. Actually, it was saving my job. The initial initiate that I was apart of was ending and my boss was leaving. After a new CEO came in, I was given an office with an actual door. The tour on the front desk became only a day and a half or whenever someone could not be at the front desk. All this to say that this week I have spent the majority of the week at the front desk for a co-worker who is on vacation. Now with the background out of the way, I can get on with what I am trying to write today. So bear with me.

I have recently finished going through the Bible in a year, but only in trying to catch up, since I actually did not begin in January, I have read and pondered why I had never actually had done this one year thing before. Usually my studies are more random on subjects, issues and searching for answers. For the most part over the years, I have gone through not systematically but randomly through. Again, chasing another rabbit. Since there are just a couple of months before the New Year approaches, I thought I would go into a different type of morning study. Which has thrown me into pondering and wondering about my life and those around me. How God orchestrates things to weave together to finally make sense.

One question that always seems to rise to my thoughts is – Who writes these questions in a study? For example: Write a statement that identifies what you feel will be your next storm. Hello – who can say what the next “storm” will be. Of course, in most of these questions, there is no right or wrong answer.

But I do know that for me taking the Word of God and finding Significance to me life has been important to me as far back as I can remember. To live right – to make the right choices – not choices others say we should make – but truly make the choice God wants me to choose. Is this lofty? No.

The second question that rose up, was – Do those who write these studies live what they write or do they want others to think that they truly “know” the mind and will of ‘God. I believe it can be both. All too often, in studies, the standard is not God’s standard, but man’s lofty religious standard that weighs one down with defeat.

If one takes the Word of God and looks at the promises that He says He gives to us when we give our life back to Him and become His child, we inherit all that He has. This is an almost impossible thought. But this morning as I was watching those vehicles whiz past the front window and as I pondered some of the questions of the study I am working through, the wheels began to click – click – click

To be His child gives us significance. He only expects us to take Him at His Word and apply it to our circumstances. It is because we do not believe it, that we can’t seem to get the significance of our lives focused.

Read II Peter 1:3 – His Divine Power has bestowed upon us ALL things that are requisite and suited to life and godliness through full person al knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). (Amplified)

Just think of it – We need to camp here and really get this down into our spirit and brain needs to accept it. We have His Power – Everything we need for Life – By His DIVINE POWER, God has given us EVERYTHING we need for LIVING a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.

So if you wonder about the significance of life, your life it is most significant – the requirement to have to become His child. Get to know Him through His Word – Believe it – Chew on it – Take other’s opinions with a grain of salt.

Dictating the significance of Life is not what your position, or what you do or where you sit. You dictate the significant of life through your relationship with the Almighty God – Abba Father – Himself.
