In 1982, “ABC Evening News” reported on an unusual work of modern art-a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gun barrel. The gun was loaded and set on a timer to fire at an undetermined moment within the next hundred years. The amazing thing was that people waited in lines to sit and stare into the shell’s path! They all knew the gun could go off at point-blank range at any moment, but they were gambling that the fatal blast wouldn’t happen during THEIR minute in the chair.
Some gamble with eternity, thinking they are ok, nothing can happen to them. An individual who does that is described as a fool in the Scriptures.
But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
Don’t gamble with eternity.
Give it some thought.
