What will matter is that thing that matters
when nothing else matters.
SCRIPTURE: “Watch out!
Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the
worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, like a trap. For
that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.
Luke 21:34-35
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
What will matter is that thing that matters when nothing else matters.
We live in a very
careless generation where people mind the immediate and ignore the ultimate.
You see, people prepare for wedding but never prepare for the marriage – their
wedding succeeded but the marriage is a mess. In the same manner, you see
people with great ambitions of achieving diverse things on the earth but with
zero ambition concerning eternity. What a tragedy!
The question is, what
is the ambition of millions of those lying dead at the cemeteries of the world?
What is the ambition of those in mortuaries? What do they want to achieve? What
is on their expectation cards? Nothing!
Beloved, don’t waste
your life chasing shadows. A time will come when ambition would be zero. That
is, no more ambition to pursue, and that is when the Owner of life has taken
it.
What will you do if
the curtains of time are drawn and the channels of eternity are opened? What
will you do when the silver cord is broken, when the golden pitcher is broken?
What will you do when man returns to his age-long home, when dust returns back
to his dust and the spirit returns to the Maker? What will you do when no one
cares how well dressed you are because, of course, no one cares about how well
dressed a dead person looks? What will you do when nobody cares how fine or
beautiful you look because no one cares how beautiful a dead person looks?
Please, don’t spend
your life time chasing vanity; don’t squander your time on things that don’t
really matter. What will you do if you have just 24 hours to live on earth
because one day you will have just 24 hours left to be alive? Will you be able
to meet God the way you are looking now? What will you have to straighten out
in your life if you have been told that only 24 hours is left for you to be
alive. Please straighten it now. Do it now!
REMEMBER THIS: What
will matter is that thing that matters when nothing else matters
