THE WILL
THE WILL
Contributed by Michael Ullrich
Aug 21, 2005
A close neighbor passed away rather suddenly not long ago. In the
following days, it fell to his children to look through their dad's
possessions. It was a difficult experience, because of the
circumstances. As they searched through the tools, golf stuff,
supplies, magazines, and various other things, they were surprised at
some of what he had.
No matter how private a person you are, when you die, possessions are
no longer under your control. The Bible warns us of getting too
attached to this world's things. Jesus said, (Mark 8:36) "For what does
it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"
Each of us should consider that question. We have to plan ahead, much
like someone might make a will to take care of their affairs when they
die. In a sense, we make a will when we tell God that we want Jesus
Christ to be a part of our lives. In doing so, make the most important
plans that can be made, those that affect our eternal destination.
Have you made plans for your eternal future? If not, why not do
something about it right now? The Bible says "Now is the time for
salvation!" I urge you to plan for your eternal future right now. You
don't know if you will have time to plan later.
PRAYER
Lord, you have captured our hearts and opened to us the treasures of
heaven. May you always be my treasure and delight and may nothing else
keep me from giving you my all.
