I was reading an article about some Nascar drivers stopping by a VA Hospital. One of the drivers (18 years old) said he was surprised to learn that many of the veterans were just a few years older than him.
That got me thinking about what I would have thought if I were in his shoes at that moment. Eighteen years old and my contribution to my country is what? My contribution to anyone is what? And these men and women, at my age and a little older have contributed so much.
God said, "your contribution to the kingdom of heaven is what?" Like the driver who I imagine is largely focusing on his dream of personal satisfaction, so too is my focus more on me than God.
Isn't it amazing how God gets our attention?
How will His message change my life? I guess we'll both just have hide and watch.
Ps. 16:11 PRAISE GOD!!!
