Psalms 6:5 No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave?
It's all over when it's over.
What will your legacy be?
Will you be remembered as one who gave your all for God? Or will you be remembered as one bent on satisfying the desires of your flesh?
The older I get, the less important material things are to me and the more important pleasing God is.
When we're young, we feel invincible. We don't really consider death much. That's something that happens to other people. If you've never had cancer or faced a life-threatening disease or situation, chances are, it's too far removed to have much affect on your life.
I would challenge you today, to consider your mortality. None of us lives forever. None of us knows when or how we will die. Even if a person has a deadly disease, one still can't predict the outcome - a miraculous cure could be found, or you could die in a car accident. Only God Himself knows the hour and way our life on earth will end.
So let's ask ourselves, if it ended today, have we accomplished all that the Holy Spirit has convicted us to do?
Is there a ministry you've been meaning to support and haven't gotten around to it? Is there a person you need to make amends to? Is there something you feel you should do for your church that you've been putting off (yes, I have!) Spend some time with the Holy Spirit now, seeking God's will. Ask Him, if I had to die today, what do you want me to accomplish first Lord?
No one remembers You when he is dead. Who praises You from the grave? We cannot praise God from the grave, nor finish what's left undone.
Heavenly Father, right now, we just sit in Your presence, seeking Your will. What do You want me to accomplish today for Your glory? In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
