REMEMBERING OUR MORTALITY (3)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: FRIDAY, 16 FEBRUARY 2024
So, beloved, when we embrace our mortality, it shifts our perspective on life. It reminds us to cherish each day as a gift from God, to love deeply, forgive freely, and live with gratitude. It prompts us to focus on the things that have eternal significance – our relationships, our character, and our faith.
SCRIPTURE: “All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.” — Ecclesiastes 3:20 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Therefore, let us not shy away from the reality of our mortality, but rather embrace it as a reminder of the preciousness of each moment we are given. Let us live with intentionality, seeking to glorify God and advance His kingdom in all that we do. And let us hold fast to the hope of eternity, knowing that our true home awaits us in the presence of our loving Creator. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: As we reflect on our mortality, let us also take comfort in the hope we have in Christ. For while our earthly lives may be fleeting, we have the assurance of eternal life through Him.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, dearly beloved, let us live each day with purpose and intentionality, remembering our mortality and embracing the gift of life that God has graciously given us.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of life. Help us to remember our mortality and to live each day with purpose and intentionality. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: And as we live, may we use our time on the earth to honor God and advance His kingdom. In the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Eccl. 3:20, Psalm 39:4-5
