News today, Gone tomorrow

The death of Tim Russert seemed unexpected to many. Of course to God, it was not unexpected. The Father always knew the date, time and second Tim Russert would die. But I found it interesting how literally the day before Tim Russert died, he was reporting the news. A day later, he was the news.

Life is fleeting. We could all die any day, any hour, any minute. The time we have is precious. Not necessarily because we are precious but because Christ is precious. Christ died that we might have abundant life. The abundant life is that spent enjoying, learning, and obeying Christ. It is in this zoe life that we will never die. What a shame it is that many believers die, while wasting their times on earth doing things that are mundane, self-seeking and vain. Let's live in zoe life now. Let us serve the Lord Christ fully, wholeheartedly and consistently - with no regrets for how we lived.
