Think about the above verse for a moment. Every believer who has ever lived will one day stand before the bema judgement seat of Christ to receive his reward (or not). I don’t fear death any longer but I do fear pain and not living long enough to complete the works God has planned for me to do. My greatest fear is displeasing God. That’s what drove the Apostle Paul to become the greatest Christian who ever lived. My greatest desire is to please God. I long to hear Jesus say, “Well done good and faithful servant.” Make sure you run your personal race with God with this same goal in mind. From this moment on plan what you need to do and then go out and do it. What we do here on earth matters because it will impact us in heaven for an eternity.
