Looking for life in all the wrong places

Morning: Psalms 61, 62; Isaiah 11:1-9; Revelation 20:1-10

Evening: Psalms 112, 115; Zephaniah 3:14-20; John 5:30-47

‘Quality of life’ is what matters, right? ‘Eternal life’ is appealing too. Jesus laments our looking for life in all the wrong places -- apart from him. Ironically, we may waste time fearfully searching for strategies that add time to our lives; but there are no cures for mortality. Anyway, what will we do with the added time if we do not know what life is for? Life is not an outcome but a journey into relationship with God. Fullness of life is found in that relationship. Choose God, says Jesus ... Let your life flow from that choice.
