Strength for the ChallengeSample

Live More in the Future

Now death may rob us of money. Death may rob us of position. Death may rob us of our friends; but there is one thing death can never do, and that is rob us of the work that we do for God. That will live on forever. “Their works do follow them.” How much are we doing? We have the privilege of setting in motion streams of activity that will flow on when we are dead and gone. It is the privilege of everyone to live more in the future than they do in the present, so that their lives will tell more in fifty or a hundred years than they do now. If they up yonder can see what is going on upon the earth, how much joy they must have to think that they have set these streams in motion and that this work is going on—being carried on after them.

Was this plan helpful? We adapted it from the book Strength for the Challenge.
