A
close neighbor passed away rather suddenly not long ago. In the following
days it fell to his children to look through their dad's possessions. It was
a difficult experience, because of the circumstances. As they searched through
the tools, golf stuff, supplies, magazines, and various other things, they were
surprised at some of what he had.
No matter how private a person you are, when you die, possessions are no
longer under your control. The Bible warns us of getting too attached to
this world's things. Jesus said, (Mark 8:36) "For what does it profit a man
to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"
Each of us should consider
that question. We have to plan ahead, much like someone might make a will to
take care of their affairs when they die. In a sense, we make a will when we
tell God that we want Jesus Christ to be a part of our lives. In doing so, make
the most important plans that can be made, those that affect our eternal destination.
Have you made plans for your eternal future? If not, why not do something
about it right now? The Bible says "Now is the time for salvation!" I urge you
to plan for your eternal future right now. You don't know if you will have time
to plan later.
