Anyone with a brain in their head must have noticed that time is moving at a far greater pace than it once did!While this may be good news for those looking forward to a vacation, school breaks, graduations, and so on, it is not good news for those who refuse to pursue their purpose for being here on earth. Since January 2015, many of us have lost loved ones or know well-known people we never would have imagined would meet their end this year.
Nevertheless, we remain committed to the routine of posting photos of our deceased loved ones all over social media to express our loss, but we still behave as if we have plenty of time to get our affairs in order. I am sure those who have passed this year have also attended funerals of their friends and family members, probably not realizing that their next visit to the cemetery would be in celebration of their life here on earth.
The purpose of this post is to ask you, the reader, how much longer you will continue procrastinating in getting your relationship with God in order. How much longer will you stay committed to your plans instead of aligning with the purpose for which God allowed you to be here?
Scripture clearly states that the living know they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their names are forgotten. Their love, their hate, and their jealousy have long since vanished; they will never again have a part in anything that happens under the sun, Eccl 9:5-6.
With the above scripture in mind, one must consider that, given the swift passage of time, it is safe to say that time is running out for all of us since none of us knows when our time to cease to exist will come. However, while we may cease to exist here, we are very much alive somewhere else, and there is absolutely nothing our friends and loved ones can do on earth to alter where we will end up after death.
Why not ask God right now, "Lord, what is my reason for being here"? Father, am I on the right course that you originally intended for me? Father, help me to align myself with the destiny you have chosen for me. For those of you who do not have a relationship with God and His son, Jesus Christ, why not fix that right now while you still have the opportunity as a living person? As the scripture says, the dead will have no more participation in the earth, and eventually, their names will be forgotten.
It is my prayer tonight that this post will inspire you to change and that everything happening around you and in the world is urging you to consider the return of Jesus Christ, or that your time may come to an abrupt end.
