*What Matters Most*

In the mid 1970's, Ed Roberts created the world's first commercially
successful personal computer.   He hired a 19 year old named Bill Gates to
write software for him.

Roberts sold his computer business in 1977 and bought a farm. Seven years
later, at age 41, he entered medical school. Today Bill Gates is the head
of the largest computer software company in the world.  Ed Roberts is a
physician in a small Georgia town.

Roberts says, "People are always assuming that the PC (personal
computer) is the most important thing I've ever done.  That's just not
true. Every day I deal with things that are far more important here with my
patients."

How can we evaluate the significance of our lives? Something deep inside
tells us such a thing cannot be measured by wealth and fame.

As we look at the apostle Paul's turbulent life, it seems noteworthy that
he approached the end with a peaceful sense of successful completion. He
wrote, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept
the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7)  Paul looked confidently not to the world but
to "the Lord, the righteous Judge" for approval and reward (v. 8).

Since sooner than later we'll face our creator,
Whose gaze pierces through to the heart,
We need to make sure in our dreams and our schemes
We have Christ in our plans from the start.
