Plan On Seeking God Later In Life?

There is a common belief among many that as people age they naturally gravitate to God.

Perhaps you are someone who thinks, "Sure, I should look into this God stuff, but first I have to..." get a job, put money in the bank, become famous, invent something, buy a house, etc.

Well, there are lots of examples of people who have the time to achieve all of this and more.  But, death does not have any such checklist.  Death is fickle, fast, and uncaring.

Take for example the reports on September 27th of the death of Jimi Heselden.

Jimi Heselden had it all from the world's perspective.

Heselden had certainly seen the worst of life.  He was a high-school drop-out who was at one point laid-off as a coal miner.  Unemployed and with no high-school diploma, many might give up.  But rather than give up, Heselden got back to work and eventually developed a system that allowed the military to blast wholes in walls and doors while directing the energy away from the troops.  Such a system allowed the troops to remain relatively close to the opening while reducing their chance of injury.  This was his big break.

Heselden used his self-made fortune to purchase the Segway company, makers of those odd-looking upright scooters, in December of 2009.

I am certain that he worked just as hard in his new role as the owner of this technology company.  I imagine he had big plans, and was working hard on the next set of personal and business objectives right up until the morning of his death.  

Though the exact cause of his accident remains under investigation, it appears that Heselden's Segway carried him over a 30-foot cliff while he was out riding alone testing a new cross-country model of the popular scooter.

Suddenly, almost in the blink of an eye, his life ended.

What do you think mattered to him as death quickly approached?  I don't imagine that he was thinking about the cars he owned, the balance of his banking accounts, the important meetings he had scheduled for later in the week, or even the money he gave to the help people in his community.

In the end, none of that matters.  What matters is: What happens when you die?

If you are not yet prepared to meet the God who created the universe by speaking it into existence, then today is the day to consider how you will be judged by Him. 

"...it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment" - Hebrews 9:27

Are you ready for your judgment day?  Tomorrow may be too late.
