March 28 - Life is Sacred: A Call to Accountability

“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” – Romans 14:12 (KJV)

We are blessed with the gift of reason, intelligence, and discernment—a divine endowment that calls us to a life of responsibility before God. The life He has granted us is sacred, and each moment is to be cherished, for our every action and inaction is recorded in the heavenly books. Not only are we accountable for what we do, but also for the opportunities we fail to embrace and the character we neglect to develop.

It is the allure of ease and the pursuit of self-gratification—our natural inclinations toward comfort, pride, and personal exaltation—that can distract us from the profound lessons taught in the school of Christ. Rather than being molded by our surroundings, we are called to rise above them, shaping our character in accordance with the divine example. We must fulfill our duties faithfully, making the most of the opportunities God presents and employing every gift to its fullest potential.

In our daily endeavors, whether in our work or in our personal lives, we are to integrate the principles of Christ’s character into every task. Our service should be united with His purpose. When compensated by time or reward, we must recognize that our service is not our own—it belongs to the One who has entrusted it to us. Carelessness, wastefulness, and a lack of diligence mark us as unfaithful stewards in the eternal record.

Let our lives be defined by faithfulness, prudent management, and sincere effort. As we pursue our daily tasks, may we always remember, “He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much.” – Luke 16:10 (KJV)

May we approach every day with reverence, making the most of the precious life God has given us, and thus honor Him in all that we do.
