READ: 1 Peter 1:13-21
“Since you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear” – 1 Peter 1:17, NIV
Remember that we cannot come back. Remember that we cannot “do earth” again. This is it. It’s once and for all and you must get it right the first time. Unfortunately, most people understand life when it is all over. But for wisdom to be useful, it must be applied when you are young. Wisdom is intended to help you to live a better life. Wisdom will not help you much at the end of your life. The purpose of wisdom is not to make you look back and regret your past life. The purpose of wisdom is to make you have a better life in the future. That is why wisdom must be applied in your youth.
It is important for you to learn about time as it relates to your period on earth.
“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear” (1 Peter 1:17).
You are welcome to this earth! For your information, this is a world where time is both relevant and important. One of the things you will discover is the fact that there are appointed times for many things. There was a time for you to be born, and that is when you were born. There is a time for you to die, and that is when you will die.
