| A Life That Matters |
|
V: Good morning, Don.
D: Good morning, Vicki.
V: Are you ready for this ¡°pop quiz¡±?
D: Do you have a surprise little test for me?
V: Sure. Today¡¯s Power for Today begins with one. What do you know about king Ahaz?
D: I might not pass this quiz. I don¡¯t know a lot about him.
V: Well, that¡¯s because the ¡°Chronicler¡± (the one who chronicled or wrote his life) does not say much about him.
D: So, there is nothing positive that is written about Ahaz.
V: Right. In fact, the author ¡°condenses¡± (or reduces) his sixteen years as king to just four verses.
D: Wow! It makes you wonder how people will remember us later.
V: This is today¡¯s lesson. We should know that a life that ¡°matters¡± (or has value) is not measured by length.
D: The author says that there are many worldly standards¡± (or principles), but we should try to seek God¡¯s holy way.
V: If we do this, maybe someone will write a nice ¡°epitaph¡± about us.
D: An ¡°epitaph¡± is usually a sentence written on one¡¯s grave to describe the person¡¯s character.
V: Well, I hope the epitaph about us will say that this person did what was right.
D: I agree. As usual, our time is too short in the morning. I¡¯ll see you after work.
V: Have a good one.
D: You too! |
