Isaiah 40:21-31= Bigger picture

Today, the passage reminds me of God` s power and sovereignty.
As human with limited view and ability, we are unable to see the bigger picture God sees.
That is why we will never understand wholy what God has planned for us or even for the world.
What can we do, however, as one of His creations to do what we can and work with whatever God has given to us. We might complain when we don`t really get why God wants us to be in some place or work on the same thing over and over again or simply why we live; but have faith that our lives have been planned by God and we have to do what we have to do, our works will never be in vain when we do it in God.

Calling

This morning, I watch short ad about Oprah's talk show of Super Soul Sunday and they were talking about " calling".
It hit me right on, especially after last night, being asked by my friend about what's your plan for the next 5 years? One thing for sure, I do not have any plan of having something expensive like cars or bags like my friend suggested.
Here are things have been bothering me since;
We live with more than one callings; these callings sometimes can change as time flies by.
Some callings might end on some time. And we might have new callings down the way.
Some callings might be called away from us.
I was like....oookkkaaayyyy... now I am a bit confused.

Ephesians 2:10-22: Handiwork

We are God's handiwork,
we are prepared for doing His work.
Our lives are not lived for nothing.
They are for a purpose.
His purpose.

What is His purpose?
to create peace.
Peace can only be created by uniting different groups.
Beautifully, through Jesus Christs, there is no difference between those who have received the promises first, the Israelites and those considered as foreigners.
Therefore, Paul stated, to do good works set by God without worrying about those differences.
Everyone united in church should work together regardless their backgrounds.
What matters the most is everything built upon one foundation, Jesus Christ
