The Heavenly Rest
There is no such thing as an honorable discharge in the Army of God. Neither is there any such thing as retirement. The only retirement we will have is our promotion to Headquarters, as we pass from this life. Until that time, we must work while we have the opportunity and the inclination. Think of the words of the famous song,"American Pie." In the middle they are repeated-"This could be the day that I die ... this could be the day that I die." The Christian must remember that this could be his last day on earth. But while we may labor for the Lord, the Bible says that there is a special rest in which we have already entered. We entered that place of rest from our labors the moment we laid down our lives and trusted Him alone for our salvation. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
