READ: Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

EXPOSITION

Everything has a beginning — a starting point. The world itself had a beginning, as recorded in Genesis 1:1, just as our individual lives did. Each new day, week, month, and year marks the start of another cycle in our lives. Yet, just as everything begins, so too does everything come to an end. This is an undeniable truth that we must embrace, for it is simply a matter of time.

 

PREVIOUS DEVOTIONAL

Our lives began at birth, and with the passage of time we move steadily closer to the end of our earthly journey. The years adults have lived are measurable and with each New Year, they often strive to improve upon the previous one. Yet, with each passing day, week, month, and year, they edge nearer to the conclusion of life as we know it (Eccl 3:1-2)

The critical question remains: are we prepared for the transition from this temporary existence to eternity? Just as days, months and years unfailingly come to a close, so will this world, giving way to eternity (2 Pet 3:10). Let us live with eternity in focus (2 Cor. 4: 18). When your life ends, how will you stand before God? Where will you spend eternity? These are truths to act upon.

 

PRAYER POINTS

1. Lord, teach me to live each day with eternity in view.

 

2. Father, prepare me to transition to eternity without regrets.

 

3. God, help our children and youths to make the most of every moment for Your glory.

 

SUGGESTED HYMN FOR TODAY:
CACGHB: 833

6 4 6 4 6 6 4

1. Nearer, my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be.
Nearer, my God to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!

 

2. Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down.
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!

 

3. There let the way appear
Step unto heaven;
All that Thou send’st to me
In mercy given:
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer to Thee!

 

4. Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my story griefs
Bethel I’ll raise
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!

 

5. Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forget,
Upwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God to Thee!
Nearer to Thee!

Amen.
