a sample of the life which will be ours throughout all eternity. Paul wanted to know Christ so well that he could talk to anybody about Him. This is exactly what he did. Paul didn’t want to be a stranger when he got to heaven. Will you be surprised when you meet Him? Will you feel at home with Him? Paul wanted to know Christ as his shepherd so that He would tell him which way to go and where the pasture was. David said, “The Lord is my shepherd.” This was the Apostle’s great desire. May our consuming goal and purpose be, “That I may know Him!” THE WRONG CHOICE There was a most memorable day back in 1874 when David Livingstone was buried in Westminster Abbey. As with the recent fumeral for Sir Winston Churchill, the streets of London were lined with thousands of people seeking to pay their respects. Amid the throng, however, people could not help but notice a dirty, unshaven, poorly-clad elderly man who wept uncontrollably. It was so noticeable that an officer stopped to ask him what the problem was, fearing he might be hurt carrying on in such a manner. Livingstone was loved by all people, but tears wouldn’t bring him back. The social outcast responded sober ly, “I’m not weeping so much for him, as I am for myself. You see, Davie and I were bom in the same village. We were brought up in the same school and church. We worked together at the same factory loom. The only difference is, Davie wisely went the right way and I went the other. Now he is revered by a nation while I am neglected, unknown and dishonored, and treated with con tempt. I have nothing to which to look forward but a drunkard’s grave.” The officer stood silent for a moment, realiz ing there was nothing more he could say. The hopeless derelict had made the wrong choice. He reaped not only a wasted life but also he faced a godless eternity. Consider the fact that one care less step in your life could mean a des tiny of eternal damnation. Stop to take inventory. Choose your pathway f o r Christ. Out of the wisdom of Proverbs we read, “The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot.” So, “choose you this day whom ye will serve.”
