What does this reality MEAN for each of us? Should I REJOICE?
I have known that my birth was a miracle as I did not choose this event. I was born to parents which I did not choose. I was born in a venue that I did not choose. I was given ideas, talents, and looks which I did not choose. It appears that my destiny on this World Stage was pre-ordained (from day one). If this is TRUE for me, then it is also likely TRUE for you. What does all this mean?
Our Creator sets all events in motion with his decisions on the Throne. See Revelation 4. We humans live out the events which were predestined for each of us. We have no choice (to change this reality) as all that happens is beyond my/your control. As it says in Psalms 139, 'all my days were ordained for me before I lived even one day'! I am now nearly 80 years of age. My journey on this planet is soon over. But what does it all mean?
I would suggest that I have lived my life 'at effect' for these 80 years (mostly unknowingly). I started at birth with a set of inner programs which determined my behavior, talents, and culture. My parents did not choose me and neither did nature. God, our Creator, chose me to be the person I became. All was determined by my inner program (we could say the inner algorithm) which operates 'invisibly' within my being.
Yes, I have lived my life 'at effect' and it all ends in a few days/months/years. The 'sand' in my hour glass is running down and when it drops its last pebble, my journey on this World Stage ends. So what does all this MEAN for me and for you? I would suggest that we REJOICE as our Creator has determined every event (from birth to death). The POTTER created the Clay (me/you) and we act out our destiny during our lifetime. We act and then discover what it means!
When this life on planet earth ends, a new life begins (for me/you/everyone). The reality is that we are 'eternal' beings and ending life on planet Earth does not end life for a person. Life continues with a new program and a new destiny. Since our Creator is no 'respecter' of person's, this means that my new life creates a new beginning for my continuing journey. I would suggest that your situation is identical. We are both CLAY and our POTTER designed the program within each of us. A new program arrives when this present journey is over!
Life is meant to be a SOAP OPERA which none of us can completely figure out. We act as if we have 'freewill' but events prove that we have NO FREEWILL. I did not choose to be BORN and neither did you. I did not choose my 'ideas', talents, parents, culture...and neither did you. Yet this INNER program (this inner algorithm) determines all that happens in real-time. Amazing! We are living a SOAP OPERA and few discern this reality.
Is it time to quit worrying about events on this planet? I think so! I can do nothing to change events. You can do nothing to change events. We live 'at effect' and this Soap Opera continues in real-time until our 'hour glass' drops its last pebble. That is the message of Albert Einstein and also King David (many others). I have adopted this message as MY REALITY. It all makes sense to me! Have a great day! I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.
