Youth tend to feel invincible, confident and strong with little or no experience to the frailty of life. Instead of attending funerals, time is spent celebrating birthdays, weddings and graduation. However, as age begins to affect one’s body, traces of death introduce the fact that no one is safe from the grave.
According to Psalm 89:48, the Psalmist understood this truth. Unless your name is Enoch or Elijah, no one knows what its like not to die. For the rest of us, accidents, disease and failure is a reality in life. Although, extended life is a sign of God’s blessings, breathing will stop sooner or later. While some may be resuscitated, a day will come when the grave will be ready to receive your body.
In view of this, its essential to get busy living by making a difference in your spheres of influence. Whether this is accomplished through donating your money, services or time, how you live will impact others more than what you place on your tombstone. Since no one knows when the sands of time will run out, finish strong, 1 Timothy 6:11-16, so that the light that you reflect will lead some to a place called eternity, 2 Peter 3:8.
