Daniel Webster (1782-1852), a great statesman and orator of the 19th century, was once asked, “Mr. Webster, what is the most sobering, searching thought that ever entered your mind?” Without hesitating, the famous statesman replied, “My personal accountability to God!” As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Word makes it clear that we have many privileges and responsibilities towards God. The issue is, are we faithfully carrying them out? —W. Ross Rainey
Arm me with jealous care, as in Thy sight I live,
And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare, a strict account to give!—Charles Wesley
