TODAY’S WORD FOR THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 2015.
END
Finish; the terminal moment in time; the concluding part; the goal to which something is heading.
Teaching them to obey all things that I have commanded you: and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:13.
People often say “All things come to an end. Nothing lasts forever.” We are on earth for a time that will one day come to an end. While we are here on earth God has a job for us to do. Jesus taught that while we are here on earth we are to obey all things that He has commanded us right up to the end and we are to teach others to obey the commandments also.
The “end of the age” refers to the time when our Lord comes again to judge the world and to establish His kingdom here on earth.
We cannot live in the past but we need to look at the past to see if we have lived by the Ten Commandments, spent time reading God’s Word and time communicating to God through prayer as he has taught us to do. We can evaluate our pluses and minuses with our failures and successes and then make the necessary changes to our priorities that are needed to bring our life into compliance with the keeping of all that God has commanded us.
Each of us need to take the time to look at the talent, the treasure and the time that God has given us and use the abilities that He has given us to glorify our Father in heaven until we reach the end of the time that God is giving us.
It is important that with the time God still has given us that we commit our plans to the Lord if we want them to succeed. Proverbs 16:3 reads that we should commit our works to the Lord and then our plans will be established. In Proverbs 19:21 we are told that many plans are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand.
In the message translation of Isaiah 61: 1-2 it reads:
“The spirit of God, the Master, is on me because God anointed me, He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the broken hearted, announce freedom to the captives, pardon all the prisoners. God sent me to announce the year of His grace, a celebration of God’s destruction of our enemies, and to comfort all that mourn.”
Remember God anointed (chose) you to do His will and be His witness. Make your commitment today to grow daily in His Word and to serve Him with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul. When the end of the age comes all we, as believers, want to hear our Lord say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Our memory verse for this week is found in Mark 16:15.
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”
May I grow spiritually each day as I reach out to the world around me so that every person I make contact with sees You through my walk and my talk. Help me to daily commit my plans to You and ask for Your guidance.
