Feel like a failure…? September 29, 2011

Feel like a failure…? Join the crowd and get in line. Many I know today face this daily, often moment by moment emotion that seem to linger longer and longer into our living. I for one am facing it today…
It seems that as men age, especially in their late 40′s – of which I am – we begin to look back on our lives and ask the question, “Did I make a difference in this world and did I make it financially for my family?”. Well, you’re reading a preacher’s post that didn’t make it financially – but thank God, I’ve got all I need. He is faithful to supply every need that I have – and I have to give Him the glory.
But on a grandeur scale, a vantange point from a higher place, the question could be answered another way. If what the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 1:1 is his heart, he didn’t make it either. He writes, “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God…”, implying that his life was interrupted by a higher source, God Himself and commissioned to eternal work, while on earth. The scales of Paul’s life measured one weighty in the spiritual kingdom.
Think about which set of scales your life is measured by and then, answer that question…
