Left Behind: Every Person Made for Eternity - Dispensational (Psalm 139:13-16)
Imagine, for a moment, a bustling coffee shop in downtown Nashville, the scent of roasted beans mingling with the sweet notes of pastries. As the barista calls out names and orders, a young woman named Sarah nervously fidgets in her seat, a small notebook open in front of her. Each page is filled with dreams she’s been too afraid to voice—dreams of writing a novel that could inspire hope, to touch lives with her words. But today is different; she feels a stirring deep within, an awareness that her days are counted—not just by the ticking clock, but by a divine purpose she has yet to embrace.
Psalm 139 tells us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” crafted by the hands of the Creator with intentions that echo through eternity. Picture Sarah as she begins to write, the ink flowing onto the page like a river of purpose. Each sentence becomes not just a word on paper but a declaration that her life, and every moment she experiences, holds weight in the grand tapestry of God’s plan. In that coffee shop, surrounded by a world indifferent to her struggles, she realizes that every day of her life is written in God's book, “all the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.”
The stakes are high, beloved. Every soul, like Sarah's, is faced with an eternal destiny. We’re called to live with purpose—not because we fear the consequences of hell or the uncertainties of rapture, but because we are made for something glorious, something eternal. Just as Sarah's heart quickens with anticipation for the story she is meant to tell, we too must recognize that we are not just here to fill time; we are here to make our days count for eternity. Your life is a canvas of divine potential—paint it boldly, for you were wonderfully made, and your days have eternal significance.
