Defining Moments

From: Today God Is First - Os Hillman

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

History often remembers people because of a defining moment that took place in their life. There are good defining moments and bad defining moments. History is filled with them! From Adam and Eve to the famous and infamous events of today!

How would you like to be remembered? Is there a defining moment in your life with which others will associate your name? Thomas, one of the twelve, is remembered as "Doubting Thomas." What a shame. I wonder what other good things Thomas did. However, because Thomas doubted that Jesus had truly come back from the dead and needed Jesus to show the nail marks in His hands and side, he will forever be associated with this question posed to the Savior when he saw Him after He was resurrected.

For most of us we can still define our moments for the future. God may yet have a defining moment when you will discover something new or see the work of God in your life in a unique way. I think God likes defining moments. He wants you to have an experience with Him that is memorable.
