Your Last Day

What if you were told this morning that today was to be your last day on earth? How would you spend its fleeting hours? Whom would you insist on seeing? Would your behaviour differ radically from what it usually is?

Someone has wisely said, "You should treat every day as if it's your last one, because one of these days you're going to be right."

There's no getting around it. Whether our earthly life ends by accident, illness, the ravages of ages, or our Lord's return, one of these days will be our last. That's why we do and the words we say.

We ought to be tying up the loose ends of long-neglected matters by expressing our love and gratitude to others, by seeking reconciliation with an alien-ated friend, or by sharing the gospel with others.

Perhaps you've been putting off accepting your Lord and Saviour until some more convenient day. But that day may never come. Since your last day on earth can be so unexpected, heed Paul's inspired words : "Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor 6:2). Are you living each day as if it were your last? Would you seek out God? Thinking it over!
