What day will you die?

You don't have any idea. Well, you might think you have an idea, but unless you are on the brink of death as you read this then you're probably wrong.

Really, though-you could die today or maybe tomorrow or maybe not for 80 years. (Check out James 4:13-14. It paints an interesting picture of this!) That being the case, are you living your life like every moment could be your last?

Now I don't ask that to encourage you to go sky diving, buy a new car, or go elope. I ask you so that you'll be encouraged to make God the center of your life right now.

Think about a typical day:

• Is God someone you have to really try to make a part of your day?
• Is God someone who is consistently a part of your day?
• Is God all of your day?
  

In his book Crazy Love, Francis Chan portrays God as the main character of the story. Everything that happens in the story is supposed to be geared around this main character (think about a movie). A movie without a main character is a really bad movie. It has no direction.

Whether you like it or not you are in the story-the one God created. Are you recognizing that He's the main character or are you trying to be the main character yourself?

1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us that everything we do is to be for God's glory. Are your actions for God's glory or are they for yours?

If they are for your glory-get over yourself! You are not the main character! You are a supporting role in this story. Your job is to bring glory to the main character-God!

Being a supporting role isn't so bad though. God is a pretty cool main character. He knows His support staff! (Matthew 10:30-31)

Please know this: your story matters. You just aren't the main character in it. God is.

You could be the next person in the world to die. Do you believe that enough to change how you're living?
