Every morning upon arising I take time to spend with my heavenly Father reading His Word. My devotional time has been so good that I wanted to share this one with you.
Proverbs 27:1(NIV)
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
In The Finishing Touch Chuck Swindoll writes about a routine flight to New York that turned out to be anything but routine. The passengers soon discovered that the landing gear of the airplane was not engaging. As the plane circled the landing fields, emergency crews coated the runway with foam, firetrucks and emergency vehicles moved into place.
Passengers were told to place their heads between their knees and grab their ankles just before impact. There were tears, panic and cries of despair. Minutes away from landing, the pilot came over the intercom and stated,"We are beginning our final descent. At this moment, in accordance with international aviation code established in Geneva, it is my obligation to inform you that if you believe in God you should commence prayer."
What's the message?
Live each day in the light of eternity. Seize the moment and wring every drop out of it. Love and enjoy the people who matter. Take another step towards your goals and the fulfillment of God's plan for your life.
In other words, before you die- live!
