“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  March 19, 2008

 

          I thought I had made it.  I hoped that I had dodged the bullet.  I was optimistic that I was going to be spared … but, this week, I got it.  For weeks and even months people around me had been getting sick and I had been able to avoid it; but, now I am among their number.  I’m not going to say that getting this year’s round of cold and flu is unavoidable; but, it sure seems pretty common.

          While living in hopes of avoiding a seasonal illness is a noble goal; there is another time when being unprepared can have some serious consequences.  We might live our lives hoping that the end will be the end; but, according to Scripture, there will be a judgment of all mankind.  We might try to slide through life wishing that we will miss out on an eternal accountability; but, the Bible reminds us, “… God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.”  (Ecclesiastes 12:12) 

          Not preparing for the cold and flu season can produce some inconvenience; not being prepared for eternity will be devastating!

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
