Embracing Life's Number One Task

-

"Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the
right answer to its problems and to fulfil the tasks which
it constantly sets for each individual."
~Dr. Viktor Frankl (1905-1997)
 
Without any shred of doubt life is not life automatically
because we live and breathe. No, life has a spiritual
quality that only some partake in. Many take the common
road, which is laden with the appearance of ease, but is
indeed tougher than it needs to be. Few take the road less
travelled. And few of the many actually see the advantage in
how the few live.
 
God gives people exactly what they want. Where a person
insists on their own way, God insists they should have that
freedom - a freedom to choose for bondage.
 
Life's number one task - the chief objective - is to assess
one's way and make proper passage, one decision at a time.
We all have our problems, as we all have our tasks.
Assessment is the first step in making a plan and executing
it. By our assessment of things we determine the passage we
are to take, and then all we need is courage to act.
 
IT IS A HARD ROAD TO THE EASY LIFE
 
We live in a life of opposite parameters. We act in one way
and we inevitably redeem what we sow, but we are quickly
fooled by impure motives.
 
When we seek the easy life, we end up with a hard life. Yet,
when it is our principle to live diligently and morally,
which is to the many the longer and harder life, we set
ourselves up in the reliability of blessing.
 
When we learn the lesson that taking responsibility for our
lives is blessed, we open a hard gate to the easier life.
Living for God may not be the easy life, but it is easier
than living without God, simply for the fact that living for
the truth provides peace And true freedom, but a freedom
that is exacted by a commitment to pay the price that life
requires us to pay.
 
Life is life and there is no better way than to receive.
 
When we meet the truth of life, and we commit to life beyond
our anxious fears, we allow the truth to speak power into
our lives. When we live in a way that meets our problems and
wrangles with our tasks, not shirking our responsibilities,
we are ready to be blessed by God.
 
***
 
Our problems and our tasks are our responsibility. We cannot
delegate this responsibility. How great it is, then, that we
have a compassionate God who gives us not what we cannot
handle. Our destiny is to execute our responsibilities; to
take the road less traveled. 

Unleash your potential.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others. In another attack, Hamas militants fired rockets into a residential area in Ashkelon, killing a three-year-old Israeli girl. Hamas has also been responsible for the deaths of numerous Israeli soldiers. In 2014, Hamas militants killed two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border tunnel. In another attack, Hamas militants killed three Israeli soldiers in an ambush. Hamas's attacks on Israeli civilians are a clear violation of international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the targeting of civi...

                                          A house damaged in an Israeli strike lies in ruin (Credits: Reuters) While Israel promised to capture Rafah during the Gaza talks, the UN warned against possible attacks. Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
