I also began reflecting on
the celebrities and the famous people that are influential in today’s
generation, and found that many are living lives with no limits, no boundaries,
a careless life, and a life without God.
I realized that they once had a purpose that drove them through their journey
to success, but now that the dream has been achieved, they have allowed their
success to drive them to their destiny. A
life without God is meaningless, is a life without purpose, a life full of
emptiness, as we all know that life begins with Christ. Ecclesiastes 5:19 says, Every man to whom
God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from it, and
to receive his reward, and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
Furthermore, I realized that
many of them have lost their identity and have allowed money and fame to control
their lives. Luke 16:13 says, “No one can serve two
masters. Either you will hate the one
and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both God and money.” I can
only imagine how extremely difficult it must be to serve God, and also have money,
fame, and everything your heart desires.Absolutely, God has given us the ability to reach our goals and dreams, but more importantly, He wants us to use them for His purpose, too. Excluding God from our lives, especially when He has given us the ability to succeed, leads to destruction. James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father who created all the lights in the heavens.” Always keep in mind that we were created for God’s glory, as Isaiah 43:7 says, “Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.” God’s name is written all over those who worship and praise Him.
In everything we do we must keep God first otherwise everything will fall apart. Colossians 1:17 says, “He is before all things, and by him all things are held together.”
