Dust in the Wind

Kerry Livgren of the group Kansas wrote,
I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes with curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind.

Are we that, just dust in the wind?
Isaiah the prophet wrote,
A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” 
“All men are like grass,and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. 
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.” 
                                                                                                           Isaiah 40:6-8.

If you listen to an atheist I’m sure they would give you that impression. To their mind we are born we procreate and die ending in oblivion. I can’t believe that.
I believe there is in every man, woman and child that has ever walked the face of the earth, a piece of eternity.
I believe inside every human being there is at the very least a knowledge that there is something awaiting us after death.
Throughout history we have whole civilizations that made elaborate preparations for a journey to the after life.
There is not one civilization known to man that hasn’t believed in some kind of life after death.
I believe sadly that men claiming to be wise. Possessing a wealth of knowledge of this life have become blind to what happens after death. They are blind because they only understand what they see, feel and hear. They many times see faith as a crutch and dismiss it.
We are made in the image of God and when this life is through we will meet Him as our saviour or our judge.
We I strongly believe we will be given every opportunity in this life to come to a saving knowledge that only comes through Christ Jesus.
In order to do that however a leap of faith is required and that is hard. And to me it seems to be made harder with the more knowledge one possesses.
Many point and say the Bible contradicts science. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Firstly the Bible is a book of faith not science. And if it seems to contradict science it is the interpreter that is in error.
Science I believe should God tarry will one day prove the existence of God.
In the mean time Jesus calls out through the Bible.  
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 
                                                                                                        Matthew 11:28-30
Will you turn your life over to Jesus today?
Think about it.
