January 26 The Best Years are NOW! Ecclesiastes 1:14
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.” (Ecclesiastes 1:14)
Many years ago, Annette’s Uncle Jesse, observing our “business,” and our constant state of activity, made a bold statement, and it comes back to my remembrance more and more, as I grow a bit older. He said, “These are the best days of your life! You will look back on them and you will smile!” When I first heard him say these words, I laughed! Now that I am “older,” I understand his words of wisdom. Time passes by so quickly! Our days are short, and God’s Word tells us this reality. Psalm 39:5 says, “Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah” Recognizing this fact, I don’t regret stacking the dishes and spending time with Kayla. I don’t regret opting to let the truck remain dirty for one more day and attending a Swim meet! The reality of Life is that “Our Days are Short, and We have a Limited Time on this Earth!” Each of us have a choice on how we will spend our limited time here! What will we focus on? I recognize Uncle Jesse’s words, however, as a Christian, I believe that my best days are right now! As long as I have breath in my body, I want to continue to serve Him and to share the Good News with everyone that I meet! THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE! FOCUS on the REAL and IMPORTANT aspects of Living and RECOGNIZE the REALITY of TIME! Our Mission is set, Our Opportunities are Limited, Our Task is before us! Live, Love, Share! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…. THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
