Only What’s Done for Christ Will Last
There are so few things in life that really matter so I’ll pursue things in life that will last for time and eternity.
~Neil Enloe (from the song “Give Me Jesus”)
I woke up with these words running through my head and I’ve found myself singing them all day. It’s easy to let life get away from us to the point where it controls us instead of us managing our days. I want to make sure all my time and effort is going toward things that won’t pass away. As C.T. Studd reminded us in his famous poem, it’s only what’s done for Christ that will last, and that’s what I want to be doing.
Even Jesus only did what the Father told Him to do. How many of us know each moment that we are doing what our Father has told us to do. There are many things that just “need to be done” but do they? These are the things I’m working through. So many things seem like a vital part of life but I’m asking God to show me the things that are truly vital. Everything else can wait.
