Commentary on Westminster Shorter Catechism Part 1

What is the chief end of man?  Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: For the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.
Brothers and Sisters,  A lot of things come at us in this world.  We often feel like we are caught in a whirlwind being hit from all sides with the debris that is flung up by the duststorm.  In the midst of this, it is easy to lose sight of what God created you for.  In love, He made us to reflect His glory and in doing so to find infinite joy.  If you are His children in Christ, then nothing in this life is for your destruction. It is all designed and orchestrated by God to bring you to everlasting happiness found in Him.  Whatever you face this week, trust in God and do not be afraid.  Isaiah said that God is his strength and song.  Trust your cares to him.  He will empower you to stand firm in the storm and even sing a song during it.  It is is there you will find joy and God will be glorified.
