Re:Verse reading–Genesis 22:1-19 (day seven)
As I read Genesis 22 this week I was reminded of James 4:13-15:
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” 14Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”
We take life for granted. We just assume that we will wake up tomorrow and go on about our schedules. For many that is not the case. You are one of the blessed ones who was given another day on this earth for the glory of God. Use this new, God given day for a meaningful purpose. Come and worship. Come into the sanctuary with your heart ready to sing, because your God has given you one more day on earth to do that very thing.
No one knows what tomorrow will bring or whether one will have tomorrow so do what you want to do for your own satisfaction and for God’s glory. I always believe that God is in control of our lives so if God blesses us for another day, thank God and do what will please Him.
You have two check lists for “items to Do”: God’s To-Do list and Men’s To-Do list. Which list will you tackle first each day? And why?
