Why aren't you dead yet?

Our church just started a series with this title and it got me thinking. I know people who question the meaning of life, why we are here, what's the purpose, and whether God has a plan at all. I am here to tell you that God does have a plan and your life has meaning....true meaning. That's why you aren't dead yet. God hasn't fulfilled His plan in your life yet. I know that God has a significant role for each of us to play. He doesn't need any of us, but He chooses to use us if we are obedient and willing to be used for His Glory, not our own. If you're still breathing, it's because the best is yet to come. Your most significant contribution is still ahead of you. I challenge you to get in tune with God and discover your role in the plan. I love to play chess. Every piece has a purpose and role to play. Every piece is completely dependent on the other pieces and a "master" with enough foresight to formulate an attack that will be victorious.
God is our Chess Master. He knows all of the pieces intimately, and He knows how each can be best utilized.
He knows you intimately, which is appropriate since He created you!

He has chosen you. He created you specifically the way you are for a reason.
Surrender every decision to Him and see where He leads you.
I can tell you from experience that it will be much farther than you ever thought you could go!
