One year I had an English teacher who gave us a project. We were allowed to do anything we wanted, as long as it involved a book that he accepted. Our teacher never gave us a due date. So, naturally, almost no one worked on the project at all. Three months later, our teacher said that the projects were due in a week. Whoa! No one had even read their book yet. What were we to do?? ...a week later everyone handed in their projects. Some were amazing, and some.. Not so much. Those who had done the work from the beginning, without knowing the deadline, reaped the better results. Isn't it just the same in life?
Ecclesiastes 8:8a tells us that no one knows when their time will on earth will end. Some will live anticipating death... going through the motions. And yet some will live life to the fullest, knowing that death could just be around the corner, or far away. Those who live life to the fullest, following God's will for them, will reap the reward. They won't hold off until they know when their time on earth is almost through. Those who anticipate death coming, and go through the motions..may just find themselves scrambling to try and live when.. IF.. they find out their time is almost over. So doesn't it seem much more logical to live life to the fullest starting NOW?
