WHAT MATTERS MOST
When your time on Planet Earth is about to end and you are reflecting on how your one-time trip through life has worked out, you’ll think about and reach for the people who are most important to you. And you will think about what happens after you have taken your last breath. These are the really important things—as opposed to burning yourself out at the office, neglecting your family and friends, and pushing spiritual concerns to the fringe of your life.
Being responsible and working hard are good things. And there is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of honest labor. Yet the Bible cautions us to remember that we came into the world without a company, portfolio, or fortune— and will leave it the same way. So the smart thing is to major in what will matter at the end and not to fritter away your life with what cannot go into eternity.
Judged by that standard, how does your plan for the day look now?
