All of Mankind Lives by God’s Calendar.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 2 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (2.) A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;”

As we (mankind) live our days on this earth we must understand our days are numbered by the Jehovah God. Mankind does everything to extend their live because their greatest fear is death, and if I were lost it would also be my greatest fear because of eternal damnation in the lake of fire, however on the positive side saved people doesn’t have this fear because God has promised us eternal life. Most people today fail to understand this because most churches and pastors fail to preach about our Sovereign God that has so wonderfully made us and everything else in existence and controls His creation. Some are so much controlled by deceived minds that they think of God as small and truly irrelevant and insignificant in our lives, that God truly has no control at all, but I say search the scripture and you will see a whole different God. Some of these weak pastors say that God cannot change mans will and man must change his own will, but I say where is that scripture found? The scripture never tells anyone to choose Christ, The scripture never tells anyone to make a decision for Christ, and the scripture never tells anyone to pray to be saved. These are man made myths used by weak pastors interested in building numbers instead of preaching the true gospel. The bible leaves us no doubt; God saves sinners as He chooses, His will was predetermined before the world and man cannot change His mind nor His will. Ephesians 1:11 "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” As it is with salvation so is it with death; it at God’s chosen time. We cannot change God’s mind or His will.

The writer of Ecclesiastes said “To every thing there is a season…” the word “season” means - an appointed occasion – therefore we see that to everything - the whole – there is an appointed time, a time to be born and a time to die and no matter what, we cannot over ride God’s chosen will. Job 14:4, 5 "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. (5.) Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;” If God has set the course of mans life then what would convince man that he has to power to over ride God’s authority or will? I say it would be the great liar himself Satan. I have heard all of the arguments against this and they do not hold water. You cannot prove God’s determined will a lie by killing yourself because you do not know what God’s calendar has been set for your life, nor can it be proved wrong by young people dying or by abortion, who can prove these also were not God determined will.

With this understanding I trust the Lord and have faith in Him. The Psalmist wrote in Psalms 55:23 "But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.” I know that when my days have expired my life on this earth will expire no matter what I do to extend it. Now please understand this is not an excuse not to take care of oneself or to abuse our life standards. Some will say “if God has set my life a limit then why should I care about exercising of etc. well beloved we do not want to live a life of sickness or pain because we failed to care for our health. God also gave us a mind to think with so please use it and work to stay healthy but with this in mind, God has set our limits and we cannot pass them.
