Life is fleeting - Jesus isn't.
Soul Snack S7 ... Enquiring into life
Reason does not, indeed cannot, explain this world. The philosopher and the fool have equal success in their attempts to understand life's fleeting changes and chances.
Life's triumphs and tragedies, greeds and graces are mere items to an enquiring mind.
He who claims there is no God is as equally uninformed as he who claims that he is God. Both are fools.
The desires of the heart and the seeds sown in one's youth mesh (or maybe even collide) somewhere inexplicably in one's later course of life. Random results then occur of either pleasure or pain.
The preacher (King Solomon) had enquired into this. He knew three millennia before me that life is a mere 'chasing after the wind.' (Eccl 1:14)
Daily I live the passing chances of life.
I do not know the reception when I knock on a door.
I do not know what events await me as I rise each morning.
I do not know the content of the envelope still sealed.
I do not know whether affection or anger will cross my path each day.
Yet this I know, of this alone I am sure—my ignorance to life does not relieve me of God's graceful presence in it.
My life and its events will always be fleeting—His graceful presence never is.
"... and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Mt 28:20b)
