Daily pearls from the shore🫧

Let’s Sign UP!

The present age is witnessing an obsession with the gym, bodybuilding, and physical looks. It’s like a cult for adolescents and young adults. As awesome as it is to be conscious and take responsibility for one’s fitness and the discipline and effort required around it, it still leaves most of them feeling unequipped for life.

Despite great looks, healthy bodies, disciplined lives, looking outwardly perfect, there is a constant chase for the deeper unmet needs.

Wanderer’s Quest:
Some end up indulging in shallow relationships, addictions, and activities that superficially give short-term satisfaction. Yet, they feel deeply unsatisfied and lost.

Lost treasure:
Living under peer pressure, they struggle to live lives that would give them satisfaction.

Treasure Chest:
We are made in the image of God. (Genesis 1: 26)
We ought to live as Jesus lived on this earth. (1 John 2: 6), a godly life lived in exact perfection and likeness of His Father God.

The outcome:
The generations are suffering the consequences of ungodly choices.
“My people are ruined because they don't know what's right or true.” (Hosea 4: 6)
The cause is the lack of knowledge about godliness.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)

FAQs:
• It feels like a very demanding task, and most of the people feel they are not up for it, not because they don’t want it, but because they feel unqualified or unequipped to live a godly lifestyle. Is that so?
• People find it to be something for saints or religious people only. Is it for commoners, too?
• Is everyone called to righteous living?
• Isn’t godliness deemed old-fashioned and outdated in present times?
• Does it not make you boring and uncool?

While the world comes with its daunting pressures and demands with present age lifestyles, godliness is the higher road one takes.
