To really enjoy the good life you must give your life to a purpose beyond yourself. We cannot trust our lives to "chance" and just go to with the flow of life. We must prayerfully consider our "calling" and commit ourselves to invest our lives in that quest as we serve the Eternal.
Whether the pro-life movement, issues of poverty or peace, unity in the church, growing God's kingdom, the salvation of others, raising godly children, and other worthy causes, it takes hard work. Writing from the Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King, Jr. pens these words,
"Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation."
Today, as much or more than ever before in this generation, people will be looking for answers and direction in life. We have a significant opportunity to show them real life answers by living out our faith in whatever specific form God leads to make a difference in our community and world. Don't be passive and submit to the schemes of evil. Become a winsome co-worker with God and live a great life.
