Does life have a purpose? Does it have real
meaning? Is life anything more than a brief span on earth, with
nothing but eternity on either side of this physical existence?
This is the question of the ages, a riddle that has challenged
human beings since they came to be. Why am I here? Why do I
exist?
Thousands of years ago, the biblical King David looked up into
the night sky and wrote down his thoughts regarding man's relationship
to his Creator: "When I consider Your heavens, the work
of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man
that You visit him?"
David wondered about the purpose of man just as we do today.
Every one of us was created for a purpose, but few understand
what that great purpose is. What
Is Your Destiny? will help you understand the incredible
truth about your destiny! |
