Looking Toward The End of Life

I saw this on a friend's facebook page and thought it was worth posting. I don't know anything about the Truth Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio or it's pastor, Don Green, who authored this, other than they adhere to the Baptist Confession of Truth from the 1600's. However I do think what he has to say in this posting is so relevant

"Periodically you face decisions that will alter the course of your life. Maybe it’s whom you marry, whether to take or leave a job, make a ...big move, or whatever. When you’re addressing those issues, do this.

Think ahead to the end of your life and picture yourself sitting on a rocking chair. You’re an old man or woman looking back on the life that you had lived. You don’t have a chance to do life over again.
What’s going to be important to you at that point? When you are at death’s door and about to give an account for your life to God, what will you want to show for yourself?

You don’t want to be in that rocking chair having neglected eternal priorities or having shredded your family with excessive devotion to business or ministry—or even worse, having lived a life of sin.
You don’t want to come to the end and say, “Oh, my God, I’ve wasted it all. And now it's too late."
That day of reckoning is coming. I plead with you to account for it as you live your life."

“So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12

There is so much wisdom in this............
