"It's all for Him"

                    "All things were created through Him and for Him"

                                              Colossian 1:16    

    Perhaps one of the greatest qualities of successful people is a sense of urgency. You know, the kind of people who just seem to be able to get things done at just the right time and it's usually sooner rather than later. Urgency is important in our understanding of prophecy as well. Jesus could return at any time, and every christian must be ready for His arrival. And it's comforting to know that the Lord's return will not begin suddenly without warning signs beforehand. Just as future event cast their shadows before them, so we will have adequate signs to alert us of the Lord's arrival. How are we to response to these events? We must be sure that our own heart is prepared to meet the Lord. But beyond that, we should be utterly motivated and inspire to share our faith in christ with others. When we understand that today could be the last oppurtunity we will have to lead another to christ, it creates a sense of urgency in us. If you knew that the Lord were returning tomorrow, whom would you tell today? Take advantage of today while it is still today. You may not have another chance, tomorrow you can't? Why? "All things were created through Him and for Him. Only He the Lord  what knows what will happen next.

     It's a little phrase of just two words at the end of Colosian 1:6 "for Him." Yet that little phrase gives God!'s own interpretation of history. And for us the only way to be successful people is a sense of urgency, can we say, including me here i am send me!!! In this two words He affirms that Jesus is the final and complete explanation of everything. Those have ears let them hear! All that has happened and ever will happen is moving through time toward that climatic hour when every tongue will confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Every knee, whether in grateful adoration or under compulsion of what? A very strong desire to do something. Will then bow to Him ( Philippians 2: 10-11 ).

     British historian H.A.L. Fisher apparently did not share that view. He sadly confessed, "men wiser and more learned than I have discovered in history a pilot, a rhythm, a predetermined pattern. These harmonies are concealed from me. I can see only one emergency following upon another as wave follows upon wave. . . nothing but the play of the contingent and the unforeseeable."

     What about you? Are you overwhelmed by what seems to be the aimless sequence of events? If so, look once more at Jesus His life, death, resurrection, and promised return. Your realize that there's meaning and purpose for everything in the world when you live "for Him"
