112 YEARS OLD!

by Bryan Gibson

Ida Mae Washington, who lives here in Prattville, Alabama, is 112 years old. Excuse me for stating the obvious, but that’s OLD! I don’t know about you, but I’m not counting on living that long. I might make it to 75 or 85, but then again, I might not make it to tomorrow. What’s the point? I need to be ready today to meet the Lord. I may die before the sun comes up tomorrow, or the Lord may return. Either way, my eternal fate will be sealed at that point and nothing can be done to change it.

 

(James 4:14)  "whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away."

 

(Matthew 25:13)  ""Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."

 

“Careless soul, O heed the warning, for your life will soon be gone; O how sad to face the judgment, unprepared to meet thy God” (Prepare To Meet Thy God, #690, Songs of the Church).
