LIVE, LEAD & DIE

For our date night, Jenn and I watched “From Paris With Love”.  It was not your typical chick flick love story to say the least.  I don’t think she enjoyed the movie.  (But I did… :))

One of the main characters turned out to be a suicide bomber (sorry to ruin the plot for those of you planning to see it).  She said she has found her purpose in life.

While not most of us will not agree with her found purpose in life, I dare say, at least she found one.

Too many simply exist.  They walk through life without purpose.  They live like everything’s just about them.  Wake up… Go to work/or school… come home… surf on the Net… have some bit of fun… sleep and the same rut happens again the next day.

Reading from the book of Judges, 2 names popped out – Tola and Jair.  The Bible says that they were born, they lived, they led and they died.  That’s it.  While I’m sure they did more than just live, lead and die, the Bible didn’t think it was enough to make it into the book of Judges.

Got me thinking.  Got me praying.

“Lord, I don’t want to just live, lead and then die.  I want to make a difference.  I want to make a dent in this nation’s history – not by my strength or abilities (knowing that I really don’t have lots) but by Your grace and power!”

  1. routine and our comfort zone gets the best of us Pastor P.
    i agree with you 200% bec your blog has touched me too.

    Lord, please use me the best way you know… that You are glorfied in all i do! Amen.

  2. Your post kept me musing as well Pastor Pao. This world where we live in is just temporary. Life on this earth is routinely, exhausting, and stressful if you’re not able to handle it with God. It is really hard to love the unlovable, reach the unreachable, touch the untouchable, the lazy, stubborn and unpleasing people around us. Kindly pray with me for Inner Peace, to give me wisdom and to know the difference in everything that I’ll be doing, help me pass on the fruits of the Holy Spirit and that I may become a catalyst that inspires and touches the lives of the people I’m dealing with. May it please Him more as I walk for Him and with Him every single day of my life. Thank you so much Pastor Pao for helping me realized the things that matters the most especially for eternity. May the Almighty God bless you and your family beyond what you pray and hope for! 
