"Eat, drink, and be merry."
Then at the grand old age of seventy-two, they plan to get saved, go to church, and be a "good" person.
There's just one problem...
We were never promised tomorrow.
I was hit hard two weeks ago when a young man died.
I never met him personally, but some of my friends were very close to him and his family.
He didn't die of old age. He didn't die of an illness. He died of a water-skiing accident.
We often forget how fragile life is.
We live day after day, putting important things off until tomorrow.
But we were never promised tomorrow...
As I sat at my computer reading posts on FaceBook of this young man--his representation of Christ, his love for Jesus, and his impact that he made on hundreds of lives--tears ran down my face. He was only nineteen years old, but he didn't waste his time here on earth.
He lived his life like we were never promised tomorrow...
Am I living my life every day for God? Am I being the example Christ called me to be? Am I being a light in my church, my school, and my city?
If you knew tomorrow that you were going to die, what would you do?
I'm not saying go jump on a plane to Disney World because you may not have the chance. But those family members or friends that you haven't talked to in months because of a certain issue. That neighbor that God has put on your heart to tell about Jesus. The list goes on. We may tell God, "I'll do it later. I'll do it later."
But where in the Bible does it say that we were promised tomorrow...
Just do it. Shine your light. Be that example. Rise up. Go.
Live for Jesus today because we were never promised tomorrow.
