Episode Summary

Today, think of ways you can invest in eternity with your gift of 24 hours.

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And recently I talked with Michael, a quadriplegic who has been diagnosed with end-stage cancer. Doctors told him he had a 0% survival rate. This man and I knew his days were short, so we discussed how he could wisely use his remaining time for God's glory. 2 Peter 3 says that, “A Day with the Lord is like a thousand years.” So I said, to Michael, “Friend, if a day is worth a thousand years of eternity, then think of all the many eternal investments you can make in a 24-hour slice of time. Blessing your family, your friends, your caregivers – such ministry would surely resound to – I don’t know – at least, 759 years’ worth of eternal benefit to them and glory to God!” And you know what? Michael decided to live out his days exactly that way – thanking and loving and blessing those around him. Today, think of ways you can invest in eternity with your gift of 24 hours.
