You never know!

Sorry about missing the devotion yesterday. A young man in our community was in a bad car accident Sunday night and I and my Pastor went to Vanderbilt yesterday to see the family. Spencer Garrett is the young mans name and he needs your prayers. He has major swelling on his brain and is not responding to the medication to reduce the swelling like they want. On a good note he has been able to move all his extremities which is good. The next 24 hours are crucial as they watch the swelling. Please pray for him my friends.



I said all that to say this, let us not forget how short life can be. Hug your kids and loved ones often and let them know how much you love them. Life is not promised to us each day. We never know when God will call us home. So here a couple of things the remember:



1.Be sure you are right with God!



Your life could end today, and if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior you will spend eternity in hell.



Acts 4:12

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”



John 14:6

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.



2. Life is short.



Even is we live to be 100...life is short compared to eternity.



James 4:14

whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.



3. Love like there is no tomorrow!



If we don't love we are not of God. That is what his Word says.If we are of God and don't love we are like a clanging symbol...just noise!



1 Corinthians 13:1

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.



1 John 4:8

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.



Brothers and sisters we never know what tomorrow brings...live today to the fullest for Christ!
