Genesis 36:1-43; Psalms 9:1-10:18; Matthew 20:17-34

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work. Colossians 1:10

I was at a “celebration of life” and the speaker asked how our hyphen was doing. Gravestones usually say something like 1950 – 2025. What does the hyphen mean? That is the span of our entire life or our “hyphen years”. We should be using this time to bear fruit for our Lord and Saviour. Do we make choices each day to “walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing”? We never know when eternity will start for us. It could be sooner than we realize. Ask yourself each morning, how will I use my hyphen today for God’s glory? —Virginia Strout

May I do each day’s work for Jesus,
With eternity’s values in view. —Alfred B. Smith
