Dearest children
2 days ago, we heard of a friend in his 60s suddenly died of heart attack. In fact your dad just had dinner with him a month ago when he came down to Singapore.
This businessman drank & smoked excessively and many times, he mocked at God & denied his presence. He was careless with his words especially when he said, " Die? die lah!"
I make it a habit to read daily, the book of Proverbs, & each chapter will coincide with today's date and in one month, I would have completed 31 chapters, alright sometimes, I have to read 2 chapters 30 & 31 on 30th of the month. For the last few chapters of Proverbs, I kept reading about the fool, the wicked and the man who is stiff-necked will suddenly be destroyed - without remedy.
And I thought of this businessman who lived a reckless lifestyle and now he is gone & forever in the 'pit of fire' with no chance of remedy.
We have to be careful about how we live coz we reap what we sow.
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 (carousal) will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit (obedience), from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
This is a grim reminder. Life is short, let's live well so we can stand confidently, unashamedly before God when we meet Him at the end of our lives.
With much Love
