It is in the nature of people to protect their interests and
propagate their future. To be human is to be interested obsessively in
self-preservation. You labor to preserve your career, your money,
your possessions, your reputation and your legacy. What have you done to preserve your soul?
There is nothing like a sense of urgency to motivate you. The gig is almost over, your life is getting
shorter, and your opportunities are getting fewer. Jesus, the Owner of it all (Psa. 24:1), could
come at any time to demand an account from you. Consider it your spiritual audit. Every second you postpone the decision to
surrender to Jesus, you are playing time roulette with
your soul. Knowing you could die at any time, why do you
wait? You
don't honestly believe you have all the time in the world,
do you? Come
on, you've attended too many funerals to believe you're
exempt from death.
To successfully manage your greatest assignment – your
spiritual life – you must have a “do whatever it takes”
mindset, so long as “whatever it takes” isn't illegal, immoral
or un-biblical. Serving Jesus requires attention, diligence and
consistency. Serving Jesus is a surrender and not an experiment, a consumption and not a flirtation, a passion and not a diversion, a lifestyle and not a decision
only.
