Millions of people (erroneously) think they have their whole lives before them. Unfortunately, tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone. We’re all standing on the edge of time; on the edge of life. Life is fragile. While it’s important to seize the moment and live for now, it’s more important to be ready for falling off the edge of time. Almost daily, there are stories of people trekking up/down, across mountains, peaks, valley, vast tracts of land, and falling right off. I always wonder how many were ready to step into eternity. A person’s experience, or hiking gear will not help in these situations. No matter how comfortable or expensive one’s shoes or gloves, nothing tangible aids in the spiritual realm. Nothing in the seen world works in the unseen realm.
“Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring-what your life will be! For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes” (James 4:14).
What to do? We can fall off the edge before realizing it; we can be called into eternity at any time. Or, Jesus can return for us right now!
“You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Luke 12:40).
If you stand on the edge looking down too long, you’re bound to fall in. Step back, look up, kneel, call God to save you and help you. Be radical! Your buddies will think you’ve gone over the edge; confirm it! Explain it. Share it!
God Bless!
