What in the world.............?

Jeremiah 1, 5-7
Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as my chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth.
But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
(Excerpt and emphasis from the Amplified Bible)

The beauty of creation

Tired and famished after a day filled with activities, I pause to do what I normally do at the end of each day……..reflect on the day.I drive past the first zoo in America most of the time and all I do is glance at its giant floating balloon hanging in the middle of the air over the west Philadelphia area. But today, my wife and i finally decided to pay a visit and it was quite an experience. After the walking around, viewing each animal, learning their respective origins and habitats, I realized each one of these creatures is unique in its own way. So unique that each of them wouldn’t survive if they weren’t in the right environment. These animals are so different in color; shape, size and mannerism, and every one of their features are there for a reason. The design and make up of these creatures could not by any chance be coincidence, there had to be a maker somewhere who put all these in place.
These observations had me thinking, “hey, u know what: humans are different in every way too”.
I ‘m convinced that if everyone could see the span of their lives, the future, the outcome, achievements and success or failure, they would plan for or against it. But hey, that’s what makes life life…….unpredictable.
But there is one who has seen it all and as a matter of fact, organized it in the first place. Organized what Gabe, u may ask……., organized our personality, our traits, passion and pain, race, gender, even to the tiniest details of our facial features.
Timeless questions that have been asked for ages and are still being asked today-(verbal or non verbal)
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?
Is there a God, did He create me, and does He have a plan……?Endless question trouble our hearts (at least it does mine) at a point in life when we long for definition, meaning and purpose.

"For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]". (Ephesians 2-10)

For most of us, waking up every day and heading to the same workplace isn’t doing it…there has to be more. More….money… more possessions… more…..recognition……, more education…........ whatever your “mores” are.
Everyone wants a sense of belonging; most people call it true success. But I call it finding your right place in life.
May I conclude tonight, based on scriptural truth that God (JEHOVAH) has a specific assignment for every one of us and He knows our outcomes?
I write as one who hasn’t arrived just yet but on his quest for purpose and definition.
Wouldn’t it be worthwhile if we can take a moment to seek Gods face today and ask Him to lead us in our own destined path?
