I take it both an opportunity and privilege to open the Sangguniang Panglungsod Regular Session with a word of exhortation and prayer this morning . I was sharing to the city councilors and vice mayor of Gingoog City regarding the kind of life that matters. It is indeed a wake up call for everyone including myself to reckon with much intent the motivation of living daily. In the scripture, Job is a perfect example of living to glorify God. He was considered as one of the wealthiest man in the East before; however, he was put to test when he lost everything including his children. In spite of his predicament , he never cursed God instead he worshipped him wholeheartedly. At the end, eventually God restored his wealth, family and infirmity-stricken body because he never ceases to honor God.
Since everything in this world belongs to God, we have no right to boast anything. Indeed , we are just stewards of his resources. In the event that we are striving in this so called life, we need therefore to live not only for ourselves but also for others. After all , that is what life is all about. Living for others J
