Goodnews! 

Reading: Psalm 100

Experience

The worst that can happen is death or missing eternal life.

Why it matters

In any battle, death or life are the only signals that encourage and determine the assurance of victory or surrender. If you are dead, death signifies absolute defeat. To be alive means you have a chance of victory.  

Commentary

Every day, we struggle with different things in our lives. Life is full of ups and downs. Surviving has become a battle. As we transition through the struggles from our different states of distress, confusion, hardship, or uncertainty and the ups and downs in whatever situations, we must hold on to life.

1. 1. 1. Being alive means there's hope.

      2. Being alive is a chance for victory.

      3. Life offers hope for a better future.

      4. We must stay alive.

Moving forward

Psalm 100 reminds us that we are all creations of our Maker. This passage emphasizes that our Maker owns us and is responsible for us. His sovereign love and faithfulness towards us are eternal, everlasting, and never ceasing. It invites everyone to seek the good Lord and join in praising Him.

1. 1. 1. He encourages us to seek and praise Him because we are His work already made.

      2. His commitment to loving us means ownership that He is responsible for us all.

      3. He is dedicated and loyal to you as His creation.

      4. To have life means that God is giving you hope and an opportunity to fulfill your desired faith.

      5. The very fact that you are alive is evidence that God is in you. [Read John 5:21,26; Matt.1:23].

      6. Despite the ups and downs in different situations, whether they arise from distress, confusion, hardship, or uncertainty. Life is an opportunity that God has given. Live it!

      7. We must preserve our life.
