We may plan for tomorrow, but we all know deep down it may not be ours, and while that uncertainty unsettles us, it should ultimately humble us. “What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time, and then vanishes.” (James 4:14). Therefore we ought to realise any strength or enablement to do what we do must come from a higher source – the Almighty God.

It should also bring to our attention the zero-hour decision we are all faced with – crossing the red line so to speak, and sealing our eternal destiny by our ultimate choice. Summed up by Pascal’s wager: What if it’s all true: the Bible, the prophets, the evangelists? What if He does return, meaning He was once here, and everything written about Him (and us) is also true? What choice now will ensure we have no regrets if that eventuates?
