SCRIPTURE: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. ECCLESIASTES 12:13-14
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The way we think determines the way we act, and the way we act determines how we end.
We live in a generation with gross misunderstanding of life’s purpose. Some people think they are alive just to make money or to make a name. Some think they are alive only for pleasure. But the purpose of life is far beyond money and pleasure.
Our anchor scripture above and Isaiah 43:21 have helped us simplify the purpose of life. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. Isaiah 43:21
It was Myles Munroe (of blessed memory) who said, “Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.” Life is prone to abuse where the purpose of life is not known. Where the purpose is wrong, pursuit can never be right. Action determines outcome. The way we think determines the way we act, and the way we act determines how we end. The tragedy of life is that many people don’t think seriously about life in the afterlife until they are in critical situations or when they are almost at the end of their lives.
Steve Job was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer at age 49. He said he saw his life fading away before his very eyes. In his terminal days in the hospital, while reflecting on his life, he said, “I have made all the money I could make. I have done everything I could do, but I have realized there are many things I haven’t achieved.” In that condition, when he was asked to give a speech to a group of graduating University students, he gave a 15-minute speech in which he asked a crucial question, “What would you do if you had only twenty-four hours to live?”
Beloved, everyone should ask themselves this vital question, If I had just 24 hours to live, what would I do?” Would your answer be, “I would go and make the best hairstyle. I would like to make some more investments, or I would like to go and sleep with that lady/man?” No! I think what would be uppermost on most people’s mind is, “If I die now, where am I going? Is there someone I need to reconcile with? Is my way right with God? Is there someone I need to preach to that I have not yet preached to?”
Beloved, live everyday as if you had only 24 hours to live because one day you will have only 24hours to live.
Beloved, the reality is, there is no amount of faith that can stop that one day. Our creation was not our decision, so our lives should not be lived anyhow we want. We should live to bring God (Our Creator), praise, pleasure, honour, and glory.
Remember this: The way we think determines the way we act, and the way we act determines how we end.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1 Examine yourself; are there things that may hinder your place with God in eternity? If there is any, make amends.
2 Live everyday with eternity in view.
3 Ask God for the grace to walk in uprightness.
PRAYER: Lord, draw me closer to You each day. Help me to walk in righteousness, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
