[S] Deuteronomy 31:1-2 --
1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 "I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.'
[O] I am wondering what my last words will be as I'm reading what Moses told the Isrealites about how he had "completed" his task at the age of 120. I heard from Pastor Wayne Cordeiro about how he wants to have his tombstone have the gasoline guage pointing to the "E" (for empty) because he would have given all he's got during his life. This is quite a challenging concept because generally speaking we're all busy gathering stuff rather than giving all we got during our life's course. Jesus also "gave up His Spirit" (Matthew 27:50) willingly on the cross because He had completed His work on earth there. Will God grace me with similar opportunity at the end of my life so I can willingly come to a point of accomplishing my work here? Looking at the life of Moses such journey up to that point is not a walk in the park, but I deeply desire this and will be the rest of my life's goal.
[A] Continue to discipline my life to grow deeper with God by having a daily devotional time with God. This will be a good starting point for sure. Then whatever ministry I'm involved with, give all I got.
[P] Dear Lord, shower Your grace upon my life such that I may walk the life that will lead to a point of completion for Your ministry here on earth. No matter the size or significance of my responsibility in Your ministry, may I give it all. In Jesus' name. Amen.
