Time is a measurement, as in days and years. Time is also a measurement, as in ‘LIFETIME’, days of our life.
We have inherited, as a gift from God, a certain number of days. This
number may be shortened or lengthened, depending upon our conduct,
toward God, man, and life.
God chose you for an inheritance of days.
Did God give them to you, so that you may wantonly spend them as an
irresponsible person would spend their worldly inheritance, or, do you
suppose God made an investment in you, and expects an excellent return?
Make no mistake, with the inheritance of days, came the choice to
invest in God’s Heavenly Kingdom, or to squander life on worldly pleasure and desires.
God’s desire is that you begin your investment now, while you have the time and
opportunity. Jesus invites all to repent, and follow His path for your
life time.
For the remainder of your life time, lay up treasure in
Heaven, by every thought you have, every word you speak, every action
you take; by giving generously of what God has given you; your tithe,
your money, your time, your talents; help those in need, visit the
sick, encourage the lonely, witness to the worldly, and encourage fellow
Christians along the way.
While you have time, begin serving Jesus,who said, “Give and it will be given unto you. A good measure, pressed
down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Give to the
poor that you may have treasure in Heaven. Lay not up for yourselves
treasure on earth, but lay up for yourselves treasure in Heaven. Where
your treasure is there will your heart be also”.
Jesus also said,“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat;
or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the
body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap,
they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more
valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single
hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do
you worry about tomorrow?
Repent and invest your time, by following
Jesus, and when your last day is spent, thru death, in Heaven, you will
receive your investment, that you made, all the days of your life, and
it will be yours for ever, and ever, without end.
