Quote of the Day 8/18/11

“Life is not a manageable project or a test to be taken.  We can find small joys everyday if we have eyes of faith.  We can find meaning if we search for a greater purpose.  And perhaps most important, we need to realize that life is a great gift.” - Phil Cooke

It can be hard to find joy in life today given all the problems with or economy, health issues, wars, rumors of wars, and our faith coming under attack.  But when we latch onto our faith we really can be joyful.  The Bible teaches that God is faithful and His promises are true.  Like Phil Cooke says in his book JOLT!, of which the above quote is taken from, life is a great gift.  Our life is a gift from God.  God gave us this life and paid the price for our salvation.  Let’s not waste His investment.  Give glory to Him in all that you do.

Matthew 6:31-33

Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
