I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in your likeness Psalm 17:15
When English patriot Sir William Russell went to the scaffold in 1683, he took his watch out of his pocket and handed it to the physician who attended him in his death. "would you kindly take my time piece?" he asked. " I have no use for it. I am now dealing with eternity."
This world fades into insignificance in the light of eternity. All the things that preoccupy us are no longer important, and only one thing counts: our relationship with God.
But we should live every day in light of eternity! As Peter wrote in his last letter, "Since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness?..... Be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless" 2 Peter. 3:11, 14
How different would today be if you knew it would be your last one on earth before meeting God face to face? We should strive to live every day as if it were our last, for one day it will be!
