| Keep Your Eyes On The Prize |
|
| |
3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
What will really matter at the end of your life on earth?
Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then?
Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did -- or didn't do?
Distractions abound. TV, phone calls, web sites, books, movies.
It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your time.
9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Run to win. Win what?
The true prize is to know God intimately and be His friend.
4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
One day, possibly soon, you will stand before God. Why not order your life now based on that "final reckoning?"
A wise person would not invest everything in something temporary. A wise person invests in something that will last.
Invest your life wisely!
SAY THIS: Lord, help me to keep my eyes on what is important and lasting.
