What if today were your last? Would you be ready to meet your maker? Is your heart ready for judgement? Have you done all that you set out to do? Have you done what God expected you to do?
Famous Christian author C.S. Lewis stated, "Put first things first and we get second things thrown in; put second things first and we lose both first and second things." Was is the highest priority of you life? Are you lining up your activities, your things to do list and your day depending upon that priority list?
Our highest priority must be to love and serve God. Next, we are to care for family and then the Church/mission of God. Psalm 84 illustrates well our calling in a prayer offered by the Psalter,
"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. O Lord Almighty, bless is the man who trusts in you."
How will you spend this day?
