Life Can Change In An Instant
Your Life Can Change In An Instant
Just when you think everything’s fine, something unexpected can happen to you and you could face your own mortality.
If that were to happen, are you saved?
In other words, if you pass away tomorrow, do you know where you’ll go?
Heaven or Hell?
It’s one or the other.
Why so many people wait to figure this out is beyond me.
Minutes Away From A Scary Accident
A few nights ago my husband and I were coming home from dinner when we passed a police officer by the side of the road. It was pitch black dark and I remembered thinking the officer was in a prime stretch of road to tag speeders.
As soon as we got to the traffic light, I heard the officer’s siren go off behind us and, with lights flashing, he was headed our way. We pulled over to the side of the road and he passed us traveling at a high rate of speed.
He didn’t have to go very far.
That doesn’t look good, I thought, as the light changed and we got closer to the scene of the accident up ahead.
At that point we saw several emergency vehicles parked all over the road. The roads were also blocked off already and traffic was being detoured.
The sounds of a Care Flight helicopter loomed overhead as it circled to land on the very same road we were driving on.
Life is Precious
A very bad accident happened that quickly.
In an instant.
It was all very surreal and scary.
The victims were going about their lives moments before and suddenly everything changed.
I thanked God silently that my husband and I were spared, but wondered about the poor victims in the crash.
It turns out that a motorcycle had run into a truck. The motorcycle victim was care-flighted to a local hospital.
I said a prayer for the victims and then I remembered a movie my husband and I had seen late last year – “God’s Not Dead.”
Have you seen it yet?
It’s a really good movie and worth your time to check it out. Specifically, the scene that came to mind is the one where the hostile, atheistic, Professor Radisson is dying in the middle of the street after being struck by a car. In those last few moments of his life, he was ministered to by a pastor who happened to witness the accident. During this heart-wrenching scene, the pastor led the professor to Christ. It’s a scene that gives me a knot in my throat every time I think about it.
It makes me wonder if the motorcycle victim in the accident the other night knew Jesus.
I hope he survived.
You never know when your life can change dramatically like that.
Please Don’t Put Off Cultivating Your Relationship With God
I did for 30 years.
You have a free gift of salvation through the grace of Jesus Christ. You can’t earn your salvation, but you do have to accept the invitation God has given you.
He won’t drag you kicking and screaming to accept the gift of eternal life with Him.
So many people either don’t want to believe the truth (atheists) or they don’t want to put in the effort (a sad choice, but there’s still time.)
Great things and an end to the pain and suffering of this world are in store for you if you place your love and trust in the one and only true God.
Turn Around, Don’t Drown
This is a very dark world and there are miserable people out there who want others to drown along with them in a sea of doubt.
Through belief in Jesus Christ, you have access to something better and so much more.
I heard Heaven described recently as a place of pure bliss and adoration.
Why would anyone in their right mind not want that?
God bless you for visiting my blog!
I also wanted to say a big thank you also to all of the law enforcement authorities, emergency personnel, and first responders who give so generously and selflessly of their time and energy to try and keep us safe when Life hands us a dangerous curve ball, in an instant.
