Many people are merely marking time instead of enjoying their lives. Their favorite day of the week is someday. Someday my ship will come in. Someday my prince (or princess) will come. Someday its all going to get better. Someday my life will change. A recent study revealed that 94 percent of the people surveyed were simply enduring the present while waiting for something better to happen. But here is what people dont plan on. They dont plan on death. And they never expect it to come around the corner unexpectedly. When youre young you tell yourself, I dont have to even think about that for another fifty or sixty years. And that may true. But death knocks at every door. The Bible says that each of us has an appointment with death: People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment (Hebrews 9:27, NIV). That appointment may come later than you expected. On the other hand, it may come much, much sooner. Statisticians tell us that three people die every second, 180 die every minute, and 11,000 people die every hour. This means that every day, 250,000 people enter into eternity. Whats the bottom line? Live every day as though you may never have another one. Live ready to step into Gods presence at any moment.
