You do not have to look far to see that the majority of people in our society do not like to think deeply. They like to be entertained. This is evident by the visual media they watch, the conversations they have, and the books they read, if in fact they read any books. You probably can’t remember the last deep conversation you had with another person.
Daniel Webster wrote the first English dictionary. You can imagine the discipline and hard work involved in such a task. “What is the greatest thought that has ever passed through your head?” someone asked Daniel Webster. He answered, “My accountability to God.” You being accountable to God is something you should reflect upon. The way you spend your time on earth determines your eternal destiny and the degree of rewards or punishment depending upon you going to heaven or hell.
Moses was a Jew. He was raised in the royal palace and received many benefits: untold wealth, plush clothing, the best education in the land, food delicacies in abundance, among many others. One day Moses looked all around him and he knew he was a Jew not an Egyptian. As such look at his attitude recorded in Hebrews 11:26, “considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.” Moses wanted to live his life in regards to eternal heavenly rewards not the temporal earthly treasures. What about you?
You are living your life, so that you are accountable to someone. With your accountability, you receive the fruit of your labors. Your fruit is either the good fruit of heavenly rewards or the bad fruit of eternal punishment. Maybe, it is time you do some deep thinking about your accountability to God and the resulting rewards of your decision. Putting those thoughts into daily action will make all the difference in the world. Now, that is something worth thinking about.
