Key verses
Romans 16:25-27 - "Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the
proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery
hidden for long ages past, but
now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the
command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey
him— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen."
Deuteronomy
What a guy! Moses had a super productive life, and to top it off, he died well. His strength wasn't gone, and his eyes were still good. He just walked into the mountains and died. He was so well respected and the Israelites grieved his going for a while, and no one after him compared to his godliness.
I've been reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey lately, and one of the habits is to begin with the end in mind. Ultimately, we should have in mind what kind of legacy we want to leave behind when we die, and what we want people to think of us when we're gone. And then, we take that idea or legacy, and work toward achieving it. I want to be respected, and be considered by God as a good and faithful servant, such as Moses. Think about what you want to achieve, consider whether it's worthwhile, and work toward it!
