James 4:13-15
As you may know our family just return from a relaxing week in Destin, Florida. As i was standing on the balcony overlooking the ocean i was reminded that just 5 years earlier my family wasn't relaxing on a beach but asking, begging, praying that God would heal me from a ruptured brain aneurysm (which he did). This day i watched them as they relaxed and enjoying one another and the beach.
The above verse came to my mind. We simply don't know what tomorrow brings. As i looked past my family for a moment i noticed the other people on the beach enjoying the "good life" what would tomorrow hold for them? What illness, tragedy would they be facing tomorrow bring for them? Would they be ready for eternity and more the importantly what exactly am i doing to guarantee that they are ready for eternity?
We have to "GET IN THE BOAT" if these people are to be rescued! If you missed the first message in the go fish series download it from our website.
13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
