For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. Romans 16:18
It breaks my heart to see an obituary where everything the person did or enjoyed with not one single mention of serving the Lord. I often think this type of funeral would be hard to preach or difficult to attend.
Most people don’t really think about their obituary much if at all but someday when you die there will be one either the complimentary 40 words most newspapers customarily provide or the $1 per word where you can go on and on and on. Will mention of living for Jesus or anything like that be in yours? Stop and ponder that and maybe time to make some lifestyle adjustments.
God created you for a purpose not just to occupy space and entertain yourself. Life is so much richer and complete when you don’t live for your own selfish desires.

PRAYER: Oh Lord you are beautiful and your face is all I seek. My heart breaks for those who just lived for today with no thought of tomorrow or perhaps the ones who were Sunday believers. I pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to come to those family and friends I know who really could care less about a life with Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
