It's the end of another year. You may already be
thinking about those New Year resolutions. But what if you received an official
notice today that this will be your last day to live? What would you do?
Would you try to make more money, or stay late at the office working hard?
Would you spend time with your family, or express thanks to those who've helped
you along the way? Would you seek to get right with God?
"...godliness
is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and
also for the life to come." - 1 Timothy 4:8
We tend to focus on the material and the temporal and neglect the eternal and
relational. But none of us knows the number of days God has planned for us.
Don't put off until tomorrow the really important things you can do today--like
getting right with God. God became a man in the person of Jesus to show us how.
Start there. Then show your family how much you love them. Surprise them by
occasionally coming home early. Tell them you love them. Plan fun things to do
with them. Help someone you care about - someone who needs you at the office,
in the neighborhood, or maybe someone who needs a friend.
It may not be the last day you live here on earth, but it may become a great
day for you and those you care about.
Still Hungry? Matthew 6:33, Mark 10:29, Proverbs
22:4
