I am presently attending a business meeting in Washington DC. When I arrived yesterday, it struck me how people looked when coming into the hotel. They all seemed to be on a "mission", as if this meeting they were about to attend would accompish some great thing in their life. I can appreciate the need to work hard and be all that we can be with the talents that God has given us, but to lose sight of my "true mission" would be a total waste. I believe God equips us to use daily talents and we should "work" as unto the Lord, however, when we believe that this "man work" will totally meet all of our needs, we lose sight of what really matters. I wonder if we interviewed any of the victims in the recent tornado towns whether or not they would mention their jobs to us. I believe they are all grabbing and holding tightly to the last moment they had with their loved one. So what really matters? Keeping focus of the "mission" that God has placed before us...to show others the love of Christ, while reaching out with every fiber to help those who are hurting and in search of the peace of God. When the tornado arrives...we will have accompished what really matters! Turn your eyes upon Jesus and the things of earth will grow strangely dim...in the light of His glory and praise!
