And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?”~ Est. 6:6
Haman, like so many of us, was eaten up with himself. Such people think more highly of themselves than they ought. They think themselves to be something when they are nothing; so says the Apostle. When our candles go out, there will still be seven thousand reserved to continue dispensing light. We need not worry; the world will not be plunged into total darkness without our flicker.
Whenever we call it a day, I guarantee, it will be “business as usual” the following day. Those who think to the contrary are simply manifesting that they are low people with haughty thoughts. None of us is indispensable (absolutely necessary), but, rather, incidental (secondary or minor). As someone has said, “God’s workers die, but His work lives on.”
David knew this truth. He said, “I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind.” All the monuments and memorials will not change this fact. You know, “Out of sight, out of mind.” Life goes on. Certainly we will call to remembrance from time to time departed Christian loved ones, but their life will not be central to us; that is reserved for Jesus Christ alone. You see, He will not share His rightful place with any, in this life or the next.
Get used to being ordinary, only He is extraordinary.
