“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”
Proverbs 17:1
Do you truly value the time God has given you?
If you answered “Yes” then I must assume that if a doctor told you today you had six months to live you would change nothing in your life after receiving that news.
Not true, you say?
Your priorities would shift dramatically if you received that news.
Really?
The man or woman who truly values the time God has given him is busy doing the Father’s work and following His ‘schedule’. His or her amount of time left would not change that work because he knows that the best
use of his time still is when he places it in God’s hands.
That is true whether you have decades left or just moments.
The fact is most of us do not know when are lives here on earth will end.
We often assume that the average life span of a man or woman will dictate roughly how long we have left.
Maybe that approach is o.k. for insurance actuaries but not for the child of God.
We are not to live in fear that at any moment our life will be snuffed out. But we are to live by faith dedicating our seconds, minutes, hours, and all our days to God.
All too often we forget that.
Sadly, we have all known family, friends, co-workers or acquaintances whose lives ended far sooner than what we, or they, had expected.
Make the most of your time for the Kingdom of God.
Give Him all of your ‘today moments’ for His use because tomorrow belongs to God!
