Do you ask yourself that question regularly? I suggest you do. When you routinely consider that your life might end at any moment, life takes on a different veneer. I went from building a pile of money to the sky, to being a person who genuinely serves God all the time. I'm much happier this way.
Most of you know that I'm down here in New Orleans visiting family. The Saints are a big story because of this season's success. Today was different though. I was at the game. While putting up a big number for the 1st quarter, they did not score again. Their only chance to win was a last minute field goal, and it missed. They lost in overtime to Tampa Bay. There was a life lesson in there!
Are you someone who has coasted for a few years, or decades, after a chunk of success? What do you think causes that? Well, you start playing not to lose. And a lot of humans do it as they get older. I have opted for the other strategy. I'm 33 and I'm going for the gold every single day, as if that demonic hit team manages to get me tonight.
Let's face it, folks, if you are an active Christian agent...there are hunters that are coming for you. Don't barricade yourself! Get out and do your job. Do what Christ needs you to do. If you get hit along the way...oh well. Heaven is not so bad, ya know. We are a pretty solid team, but we are not in a battle where our physicality wins. Our souls have already won...but the death might come in seconds.
Get your Jesus on NOWWWWW!!!!!! Life is VERY short.
