From Pastor John Collins:

Don't take your time here on earth for granted. You never know
|
“Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my age as nothing before You; certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.” Psalm 39:4-5 (NKJV).
People take undue risks with their lives every day. Some
people drive crazy, some take drugs and drink too much alcohol and drive, some
have chosen to be in gangs, to deal drugs, to steal and break in to places and
some just like to fight. People take risks with their lives in the activities
that they choose to do and some have risky jobs that require bold courage.
I don’t believe that people value life as they should and I
don’t believe that the youth of this world values life as they should. Each
person that is born is given a certain amount of time to get it right so that
they can get to heaven and too many risk that life that has been given and
don’t claim salvation prior to losing that life.
Life is precious and nobody should take it for granted.
There is not any job that is too important to risk your safety on the road.
There is not any fight that needs to be fought so that your life is taken in a
bar or in an alleyway at night.
Don’t take the amount of time that you are given here on
earth for granted. You never know what tomorrow will bring and you never know
when it will all be over and judgment must come. Don’t risk your life for
foolish reasons and don’t delay calling on Jesus. Time goes by so quickly and
there is not any reason to rush off to join the dead by risking your life.
Take your faith seriously and take your life seriously
because every Christian needs as much time as possible to get right with God
and to bear fruit in the name of Jesus.
“The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.” Psalm 33:13-17 (NKJV).
