Where Are You Going?
Our time on earth is short! Each closing year, each setting sun, each tick of the clock is shortening our days on earth, and swiftly, silently, but surely carrying us on to eternity. The moment will soon arrive which will close our lives here on this planet and begin either a song in heaven or a wail in hell. Our eternal destiny will then be forever sealed. The Word of God plainly states: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14).
Today your hands are busy, your eyes are seeing, your mind is thinking, you are planning for the future. Tomorrow all may be still. You may be gone to eternity. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
Ask yourself honestly, “Am I prepared for eternity?” Give your conscience time to answer and be sure not to stifle its voice. Let the heaven and hell of the future stand before you in all their reality. One or the other will be your final destination, and today is the time to make your choice.
