None of us know when our time is up. Even though the certain rich man in Luke 12 made many plans about his future, alas, he does not hold the keys of time. Only God does. We can paint a dead grass green, but all the stormy weather in this life will eventually expose the death that is covered up in lively color.
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11 NIV
