Living In The Light Of Eternity, Part 2

Here are some suggestions:

  • Schedule some time each day to read the Bible and pray. Have a plan to do so. I've found that following a bible reading calendar helps me read through the Bible devotionally each year.
  • Pray as things come to mind that concern you - while driving, walking to the office, washing dishes, or anytime your mind is not fully engaged in a task. Mrs. Billy Graham has described this as 'praying on the hoof." she kept an open Bible on the table and would read a few verses when passing by.
  • Ask God to use you in the lives of your daily contacts. Pray for them and for an opening to share the good news with non-believers and intentionally encourage those Christians around you.
  • Take responsibility for your own Christian growth by being actively involved in church, listening to messages, reading good Christian literature, attending helpful conferences and seeking mentors who can build into your life.

We can live in the light of eternity. The choice is ours. Time is short.
