Serving God In Our Own Generation
Today, we fight not to ACHIEVE victory, but from a POSITION of victory.
Acts 13:36 reminds us of a sobering reality: "For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:"
Someday, our flesh will fail and our bodies will be laid to rest. We only have one life to make a difference, and only what we do for God will make an eternal difference.
This reality puts everything in perspective; perhaps this is why Moses said, "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom" (Psalm 90:12).
As I look around, it's overwhelming at times.
- The evil.
- The anti-God.
- Those bent on destroying us.
- The mockery of everything good.
- Those who are so excited about the Super Bowl and Taylor whats-her-name, but have no idea what is actually going on in our Country.
And then I remember that while there truly is a battle raging between good and evil, God has already won the war. Today, we fight not to achieve victory, but from a position of victory. Through Christ, the victory has already been won, and God has called us to tell others about Him and stand for the truth with our very lives.
So today, with all we have in the time we have left, may our ultimate goal be to serve God in our generation.
Keep serving God.
Keep standing together.
Keep fighting the forces of evil.
