What if today you found out that 2021 was your last year on earth? Would you live any differently from the way you currently live? Of course you would. So would I. (I’m not talking about a dreaded fear of dying and facing the judgment of God because we haven’t lived right – although if the shoe fits wear it.) I’m talking about how we want to leave this life with no regrets. Like football coaches say, “Leave it all out on the field”. One of the keys to spiritual maturity is living on the edge and making the most of every day to bless others, changing some of our ways so we are more in line with the way Jesus lived, and loving God more for His great love for us. We crave for God to use us so we leave a positive mark when we leave this life by blessing people and at the same time grow closer to Christ every day.
Read Mt.24:36-42. Thank God that He has given you another day to serve Him. Then listen to Good to Be Alive by Jason Gray.
Matthew 24:36-42
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.
