Life is short… and it’s not about us. Eternity is long… and it’s all about God.
When God made the universe, he intended that everything in it would point praise back at Him. Every glittering star, every speck of sand, every ocean wave, every strand of DNA—everything was designed to declare how great God is. Even in making humanity, God really wasn’t too concerned about us; he was thinking mostly about Himself. God was focused on how we would magnify and glorify Him (see Isaiah 43:7).
God is most concerned about Himself. In essence, God approaches every decision with this question: “What would bring me the most glory and honor and what would make me look the best in this situation?” Then he acts accordingly.
God declares, “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8). God made everything, and He made all of it to give glory to Himself.
We far too easily forget the truth that this entire universe is about God, and instead we try to hijack the spotlight to focus on us. We spend our short, little 60, 70, or 80 years here on Earth trying to make much of us, forgetting that all of creation is designed to make much of God.
God made you for a purpose, and He sent Jesus Christ into this world to invite you to join His purpose for your life, which is to magnify His name. So, don’t waste your life magnifying something that is like a wisp of vapor or a puff of smoke, which is visible for a little while and then disappears into thin air. Instead, leverage your life as part of the eternal story of God—a story in which every second lifts up and magnifies God.

"Families are the foundation of the community."
Why are many of our youths in prison and not in school? Why is there such a supply of, and demand for drugs in our community? Why are so many of our youths oversexed and under loved? Why do they tend to be influenced more by negative role models as opposed to the positive? Why doesn’t the church do something about the situation instead of ridiculing them?
