FEBRUARY 27TH, 2023 | Life on Earth is like a book. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Throughout time, you will experience a variety of chapters that will comprise your earthly life story. Whatever shape your story takes, somewhere along the way, the act of repentance, as well as the acknowledgment and acceptance of Jesus Christ, must occur for your name to appear in one of the most important books of all—the Book of Life.
As a follower of Christ, it’s vital that you stay focused on Jesus—the Author and Finisher of your faith. Your thoughts form an inkwell, and your decisions and actions are like a pen. As new pages of your life unfold, collaborate with God’s indwelling Spirit to edit, critique, and make revisions. Learn to set healthy margins that will keep you in the center of God’s will.
Each day is an opportunity to make wise choices based on God’s truths. Desire to make the Bible your most valuable book, so you won’t be unsteady in your faith. Life may be like a book, but your life in Christ does not end. It continues even after your story on earth has been told. Aim to leave a godly legacy, as Jesus did—for family, friends, and others to follow.
