“The Ending” by Kirk Hunt
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation 22:13 KJV
Welcome to the end of 2012. The ancient Mayans were wrong. Still, they had a valid point.
Men and women do not go on forever. Our society will not go on, as it has, forever. Only God endures from the beginning to the end.
Do you live your life in the knowledge that you will end? Do your goals and actions reflect the fact that you will not personally live on, forever? Are you planning for the time when you are no longer here?
Your finite life is not a gloomy truth. Recognizing that there is a “there and then” does not mean misery in the “here and now.” In fact, having a plan for eternity can give a lot of joy and safety to your daily life.
Your life is mortal, but your soul is eternal. Your everyday actions tell the story of where you place your hope. You can have impact for generations, if you choose. All it takes is choosing to act today in light of the One who will live forever.
Enjoy the festivities of this year’s end. Face the coming year with hope, joy and anticipation. This ending is in preparation for a new beginning.
Think about our eternal Father-God. What has He called you to do? Are you fulfilling your part in His eternal plan?
Think: Do my actions reflect my finite life, or His eternal plan?
Pray: “Lord, help me to answer Your calling on my life.”
