Summer will soon draw to a close as our daylight slowly slips away and temperatures begin to fall. It is amazing how quickly time seems to pass us by! The prophet Isaiah acknowledged this truth more than two millennia ago when he compared our lifespan to that of grass in a field (Is. 40:7-8). Almost 700 years before Isaiah, Moses drew a similar comparison in Psalm 90. Our life is very short!
Before Jesus ascended into heaven He tasked us with ONE mission to complete during our short tenure this side of eternity: Make Disciples! Jesus didn’t tell us to build our retirement fund or keep our house clean. He told us to “deny ourselves” and follow Him. We must follow Him by doing what He did: Make Disciples!
As we approach the fall, which if you believe the Mayans is our last, may we have a renewed urgency in our lives. Steer clear of idle moments; avoid distractions; guard yourself from the allure of sin; run with perseverance focused on our God-given task.
