Matthew 6:33-34

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

As I write this it is just 1:15 on the morning side of the clock. I usually would be asleep at this hour, but I am not feeling too well and decided it would be better to get up rather than toss and turn in bed. I suppose most of us have experienced these wakeful nights when we just didn’t feel up to par.

It has caused me to consider what it would be like if I had a serious illness and was facing the end of my life. I have a list of things that I need to get done tomorrow . . . Who would do them? Who would assume my responsibilities if I were to go and be with the Lord? What foolish thoughts, and yet many waste their time with such issues.

What if your life was to suddenly end?

People will not remember you by the things you possess, but by the love of Jesus that they’ve seen in you and the way you lived as a citizen of the heavenly realm, not this earthly one.

It is the Lord who gives us the strength to meet each day with its joys and sorrows. Yes, there will come a time when our earthly life will end, but heaven awaits those of us who have been born again.

C. T. Studd wrote a poem that many of us have heard and some even think it is from God’s Word. “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.”

What legacy are you leaving for those who will follow in your footsteps?

Blessings dear hearts. Walk with God today and be a blessing!
