My Amharic teacher from elementry all the way to first few years of high school was known for one thing. He was known to run in and out of class with the intention of saving time. He never wasted time. He always had an awakening sense of urgency.
As I walking very fast to catch a taxi it seemed like no one else was in a rush. I found my self walking faster than anyone around there. Then is when it hit me! You know how Paul talks about finishing his race, he doesn't say finishing his walk. He had a sense of urgency in his tone. He knew very well that this life was only a blimp in reference to eternity. And if having a sense of urgency and a purpose in this short time can get you to the place of eternal peace, why not be urgent? After all you will reap what you sow! Remember though, we are saved only by grace not by works. So don't think you will find salvation by being urgent! But, you will definetly work out your salvation by being urgent about things of the kingdom. See my Amharic teacher got it all right! Because he knew what he was trying to accomplish in such little time (45 mins is allotted to one class time)!
"I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7
"Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed." Romans 13:11
"Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works." Titus 2:14
"Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near." Revelation 1:3
Stay Blessed<3
