The Meaning of Life

Isn't that one of mankind's most perplexing questions? Many have spent decades pondering the meaning of life and reached the end of theirs 
with very few answers. As time speeds past, I easily see how that can happen to the best of us. 

When the to do lists of work, family activities, laundry, cleaning, 
shopping, cooking, yard work, bill paying, etc. wake us every morning 
and stay close on our heels through the day,who has time to search for 
the meaning of life? Some weeks I can't find time to write a blog or 
make a long over due phone call.

Thankfully, God has already resolved the big issues. For Him, defining 
the meaning of life is as simple as adding 1+1. Not surprising since He 
created the earth and each one of us in the first place. When we need 
answers about a product don't we ask the manufacturer? His Word 
holds the answers we're looking for, like 1 Corinthians 5:15

"And He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for 
 themselves but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."

Problem solved. Once again, God cleans up the muddy waters of our
confusion. We just have to stop pursuing our own plans and stop 
allowing our inadequacies to keep us from pursuing His. Piece of cake, 
right? Not necessarily, but worth every effort.
