Here’s sort of a definition for the expression “to tempt the fates.” To do something you know to be dangerous, or probably be dangerous. Patrice thought driving that old car would tempt the fates; it was sure to break down. Yeah, that says it pretty well. And I wanna talk about two important dates I think you shouldn’t ignore. Just in case you’d rather not tempt the fates.
One of those important dates is today.
As I write this, today is the first full day of Astronomical Spring. Vernal equinox, the “start” of spring, happened in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. So, that makes today the first FULL day. And that has nothing to do with why today is one of those important dates I mentioned.
Today is one of those important dates because it’s TODAY. Right now. As I write this. And as you read this (or listen to it on the FunderCast). And, as I say (a lot), today is the only day you can do anything about. Yesterday’s gone forever. And tomorrow is always in your future. Never now.
So, that makes today exponentially more important every new day. Because it means you have one less day to live after today. And that leads to the other one of those important dates. Brace yourself. Because this is gonna be harsh.
The day you die.
Not “pass” or “passed away.” Not “slipped away.” And certainly not “gone on to a better place.” No. I said it like it truly is. The day you die. That’s when you discover whether or not your worldview was correct. And whether or not it served you well.
More than just a little important.
Wouldn’t you say? I would. In fact, I just did. But here’s the thing. Those two important dates could actually merge. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, if you’ve never heard it, but you could actually, literally die today.
So, I have a suggestion. If you haven’t already looked into the Christian option for what happens to you when you die, look into it. Right now. Today. While you still have breath. And before you “pass.” Because the Christian option says you run out of options once you die. But if you’re reading or listening to this, your options haven’t run out. So, make haste while your sun still shines.
Use this extremely important date to change your fate. Because…
You’re important to God in so many ways.
You can trust in His word through all of your days.
He listens real close to anyone who prays.
So, go talk to Him now and give Him your praise.
