What’s My Chapter Going to Look Like?

Scripture: Revelations 20:[12] And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

Observation: I know what I have done and I know the good does not outweigh the bad. I know of the good I have done, but I also know of the good I should have done, but didn’t. I wish I could say I was excited to hear what Jesus has written in the book of life about me. It would be great to hear one compliment after another as He reads about all the wonderful things I have done for His glory, but He is God and can’t lie.

Application: It’s not time to go home yet and I still have some time to make a difference in this life for the next. I need to focus on what God deserves from me, which is everything. My goal is to honor Him and not for prizes for myself, because I have the greatest prize ever, my salvation and eternal life with my Lord and Savior.

Prayer: Dear Lord I know the man I am and that each day my focus is on me and not on the things of you. You have renewed my mind and I ask that you continue to renew and change this servant of yours that righteous things might be written in the book of life.
