THE GREAT CHALLENGE OF LIFE

"The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." Psalm 119:130

    The great challenge of life is understanding life. When life throws us a curveball, we often just play games and fake it. Many times, we have to guess and then wonder endlessly if our guesses will work.
    What we lack is understanding. I want to repeat an observation made by David, the great king of Israel, regarding this very issue. By divine inspiration, he spoke of the moral and social chaos in his community and described the root cause of mankind's confusion, frustration, and self-destruction: "Theyknow nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken"Psalm 82:5
    This text declares that the reason why the people of the earth are so confused and filled with problems is not because there are no answers but because we don't understand our Creator. We don't know His priciples, His purpose, His nature, or His precepts.
     The greatest enemy of mankind is ignorance of self. Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing who you are or what to do with what you have. All of mankind's problems are a result of this major dilemma. Essentially, the dilemma is that we lack understanding. Without understanding, life is an experiment, and frustration is the reward.
