A Question to Ponder

During a down moment at work today I decided to google "My Utmost for the Highest," to see if they provided the devotional online... and, well, they do. So I read it... and whoa, did it give me somethings to ponder.

  • Have I lived my last day on earth? Have I had my "white funeral?"

So, I guess what this has made me think about... have I really given up my life to God? Am I really willing to say I am ok dying tomorrow (and maybe that's not what this days devotional wants me to think... but it is where I am being lead). anyway... am I ok with that thought? I have I truly given up my LIFE to be ok walking as the Lord has called me to. You know what, I don't know. I have accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, but there are days where I just think I am still clinging onto what I want, to things here on earth. I cling to my life, my stuff and materials here on earth. I don't want to leave it all... and I think that is something that God has been showing me and convicting me of recently.

Lord, I want to let go of my life here on earth, to trust you that life with you is so much better. Lord, help me to just give it all to you. Lord, help me to just live my life for the things above, with an eternal perspective. Lord, convict me when I am not living that way. Lord, help me to develop this intimate life with You. Amen.
