Everything in your life that lacks purpose not only brings frustration but can also be wielded as a weapon by the devil to bring about your destruction. Even the beauty that God has bestowed upon you if it is not aligned with a divine purpose, can be transformed into a tool of devastation for both yourself and others. Intelligence without a higher calling, what some may call an "Evil Genius," can be manipulated by the devil to bring about your downfall. Just look at how Satan used the gifts bestowed upon men by God to bring about their destruction. For instance, Samson was granted extraordinary strength, but he failed to understand its purpose. Instead of utilizing his strength to become a judge of Israel, he simply saw it as a manifestation of physical power. Let this serve as a reminder that everything we do should be driven by purpose. Humans possess an inherent longing for life as they are aware that they have yet to accomplish their intended purpose. This is why the concept of death can provoke unease. However, when an individual uncovers their true calling and attains fulfillment in their destiny, they approach death with acceptance and without apprehension.

The Law of Seasons
The law of seasons Part 1 The Bible tells us that there are seasons and a time to every purpose under the heavens. There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to pluck something that's been planted, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to break down something, a time to build up, a time to weep, a time to laugh, and so on. There is also what is called "a time to embrace," "a time for war," "a time of peace." All intelligent students know what the common word in every sentence is- it's always "time." The Bible connects everything in life--from birth through death--to the passage of TIME. In First Chronicles chapter 12, verse 32, it is mentioned that among the children of Issachar, there were individuals who aided and had a deep understanding of the current circumstances. These individuals possessed knowledge of what Israel needed to do, and as a result, they were appointed as leaders with 200 heads and their brethren under their command. This passage emphasizes the importance of having an understanding of the times and knowing the appropriate actions to take. Moving on to the final verse, Psalm 90, verse 12, it presents a profound message for wise individuals. It urges us to learn the value of our limited time on Earth and to use it wisely. By recognizing the significance of each passing day, we can direct our hearts towards gaining wisdom. Let us reflect on this verse together and strive to apply its teachings to our lives.

IT ENDS WITH US
Very few books refuse to let your eyes leave it even for a minute and this book was one of them for me. Each dialogue hits hard, each incident digs deep, each heartbreak feels personal and when everything is put together they all Make Sense.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.
