Today and that Day
Take a moment now. Pause, and check how well you are doing.
That is evaluation. Evaluation and control are essential tools to measure as
well as direct the progress of a project. The final evaluation at the end of a
project gives final account of its performance. The quality of this final
evaluation reflects on evaluations and controls during the life of the project.
Control is extracting lessons from past endeavors to effect changes or
reinforcements that will steer a project towards its objectives. By nature, a
willingness to change is paramount in effective control.
Every life is on course towards a day of its final account.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) being aware of this declared, “There are two
days on my calendar—‘Today’ and ‘That Day.” The Bible often reminds its readers
to live with the end in mind. At the end of time, among other things, Christ
will return. For we must all appear before His judgment seat; that every one
may receive according to what he did, whether it be good or bad[1].
Every man’s work shall be tried to show what sort it is[2]. With
each day that comes, ‘that day’ is nearer than before. There will be
privileges, rewards and joy for those who acquit themselves well on ‘that day’[3]. That
day will expose secrets of the heart as well as things done in private and in public. On that day, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess
that Jesus is Lord[4]. Perhaps today is the day
to do some life evaluation and control?
