I generally take notice when the same scripture verses come at me from different directions in the same day. I enjoyed the devotional this morning from Dr. Tony Evans. I hope you do too. :happy0203:

Accomplish Your Life's Mission

"I have glorified You on earth, having accomplished the work that You have given Me to do" Jesus told His heavenly Father. If you died tomorrow, could you say the same? Could you say, "I have glorified You on earth with the work You sent me here to do"?

You might say, "But that's Jesus talking." Remember, Paul said the same thing as Christ said. Paul wrote that he had fought a good fight. He kept the faith and finished his course. (II Timothy 4:6-7) Until this becomes your passion, you are wasting your life from an eternal perspective.

As the old saying goes, "Teach me, Lord, to number my days. Only one life will soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last." It is now time for you to accomplish the work that God sent you here to do.


What a constant challenge for me! :pray:

Thank you, Homesteader. I needed that reminder.

A constant challenge indeed.

:pray:
Words, are spirits.
God's, are Life.

Thanks you for posting that scripture!
John 14:27 ...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
Henry David Thoreau

Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him...

Where are we going and why are we in a handbasket?!
