Being confused in itself is not a significant issue. The ability to clear up the confusion is what is paramount. We could all get confused everyday about different things. Some people get confused about directions and others about whether to ask for directions or not. When it comes to the question of our eternal existence, we must have no confusion on that; “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.”John 3:16 This is what separates the saved from the lost, the confused from those that understand. This is where the enemy comes in to bring deception and schemes that keep people confused.
They do not believe, because their minds have been kept in the dark by the evil god of this world. He keeps them from seeing the light shining on them, the light that comes from the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Co 4:4
Regardless of work, family, friends, finances or whatever it is that drives you; do not let confusion be an everyday reality.
Here is a scenario:
The average person breaths about 20 respirations a minute. So that's 1200 breaths in an hour. Since there are 24 hours in a day that adds up to 28800 breaths. Do the math if you like. Now, since the average person takes about 28,800 breaths a day (give or take), their heart rate increases because of the need for more air due to exercise or other movements. This could change. When you’re asleep you may only take 16 to 18 breaths per minute. This means that in a year, an average person could take approximately 10,512,000 breaths. Imagine how many breaths you could take in a lifetime. This sounds confusing doesn't it?
Remember that confusion is when something is unclear. The number of breaths you take is irrelevant to what you do with the breaths you are given. All you really need to know is: “Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us. Ecc 12:7
So do not stay confused, seek Him daily.
