2 Samuel 22:2-4 “And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in Him will I trust: He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.”
I spent many years wondering why we were placed on this planet. I ruled out getting rich, collecting toys, and reaching lofty social heights fairly quickly. After all, when I die I will leave all that stuff behind, right? So, why did God create a position for me here?
I have reached the conclusion that I, like all other humans, am here to grow spiritually. Trials and tribulations are only the tools used to shape and refine my spirit.
When I die I will not spend eternity floating on a cloud, taking breaks only to polish my golden harp. God, who has always been and always will be,(a concept that stymies the human mind), has so much more in store for me, during this life and for all eternity. Maybe I'll have a planet of my own. Maybe I'll be as an angel, serving God by tending to His “sheep” on an as yet unknown area of the endless universe.
With an omnipotent God, an unending eternity, and an equally unending universe, the problems of this world simple do not compare!
