He knew that what he was doing was important. He realized that he was making history. And so he made a fateful decision: he would record his working life. So Richard Nixon had tape recorders installed in his office. In time, he would come to bitterly regret that decision.
In Jack Chick’s classic comic book tract, “This Was Your Life,” a sinner stands before God in judgment. Every time he tries to defend himself or to deny an accusation he is shown actual recordings of his life on a huge movie screen. Ultimately there is nothing he can say. The evidence is right there for all to see. It had been recorded.
You are an important historical figure. This must be so, because a recording is being made of your life. This may or may not be some sort of audio or visual recording, but the bottom line is that a very accurate record is being kept. God has a detailed record of every small act of kindness that you have ever done. He plans to reward you for the good that you do.
Please take a few moments and think back over the past few days. What have you done? What did you do that was pleasing to God. You may not even be able to remember, but God does and will remember. And He will reward you in the life to come for what you have done.
