TODAY’S WORD FOR FRIDAY MARCH 31, 2017.
REGRETS
DEFINITION:
To feel sorrow or remorse; an act, fault or disappointment; to think of with a sense of loss.
Teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12.
If you knew that you had only six months to live, would you have any regrets as to your life activities in the past? Many people would think of a long list of “what ifs.”
What about your attitude toward your marriage, your vocation, your time, your finances, your children or your friends that you chose? Could you think of people that came to find Jesus as their Savior because of your words or deeds?
What about your relationship with God? If you knew that you were going to meet God in six months would you be filled with excitement or with fear?
These are questions that each one of us needs to answer today. Unfortunately, many so called evangelical Christians today would struggle with many of these questions. We are living in a society that Christians have become politically correct with their words and deeds instead of Biblical correct.
Where do you stand on the moral questions facing you today? Are you prepared to meet your maker with the standards you are living now? In our minds, there is no logical reason that one that knows the Lord and is in communication with Him daily can agree with such issues as abortion and same-sex marriage. We also know that many Christians question the virgin birth of Jesus and also believe that there is more than one way to get to heaven.
The key to dying without regrets is to learn to live day to day without regrets. The first issue that you must face if you want to die with no regrets is to understand that your final hour is coming and you will be standing in front of your Savior. How will you feel then?
When we have regrets in our mind, it is a warning that we are not pursuing the kind of life God wants us to live. It is important to understand that regrets are reminders to us that something in our life is not right and needs correction. So many get to the place of knowing something is wrong but do nothing to correct the issue, nor do they turn to God, confess their sins and ask for His forgiveness.
Are you living a life controlled by Biblical principles or are you being deceived by the political correctness the world and Satan is marketing for you?
One final thought from Galatians 6:7-8: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from the nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
Our memory verse for this week is found in Romans 3:23.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Help me today, dear Lord, to evaluate my life so that I can see the regrets that I have in my life. Help me to change my attitude so that I honor You in all that I do and say. May others be driven to You because of the way that I live. Help me to live a life based on God’s principles and not fall for the politically right philosophy.
