Time.
It seems to slip away in the ever changing days. I am amused, yet vexed, knowing that time seems to pass faster than I care for it to. What is my life? But a vapor, a mist. (James 4:14)
My heart knows this far too well, yet I still get so preoccupied with things of this world, things far less important. I get caught up in schedules, busyness of the holidays, so on and so fourth. But what am I doing that is actually imperishable in the grand scheme of things?
What Matters?
It will not matter what actions I performed in my busy days unless they are done with love to glorify God. Everything else is perishable, what I build up for eternity is imperishable. What matters on this earth is the way that we love and through that love, the way that we pursue people. Our hearts should be in anguish for those who do not know the Lord, feelings Paul felt in Romans 9. If they are anything far from that, something is terribly wrong.Those are things that we ought to desire and pursue through prayer and action.
But prone I am to continue with my day passing people and opportunities intentionally placed in my life by the Lord. I pray that our hearts would desire for all to know the Lord, those among the nations, those who the Lord has called to Himself, His treasured possessions.
It's time to begin a pursuit of those we claim to love. To make God known to those around us and those around the world.
All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.
Psalm 86:9
