Our
Book
"And the books were opened." Rev. 20:12. God
gives a book to every one. You have yours and I have mine.
It is the book of possibilities. In our text we are told
that we are going to be judged out of the books according
to our works We are all writing a book. We are writing in
our own book. I cannot write in yours, nor you in mine.
You are responsible for what is in your book. We are
tracing out our own record every moment on the book of our
possibilities. What we think, what we say, and what we do
are all being recorded. If you do nothing, then that is
what is recorded. It is not just according to what we have
done, but according to what we might have done. There will
be no false entries in your book. The record is self
recording. Every deed records itself. Every idle moment
records itself. If you do not want an idle moment or an
idle word recorded against you, do not spend it, do not
speak it. Our record is being written in our own hearts.
What we think, say, and do become a part of us. All is
being registered indelibly in our character. Every
thought, word, and deed makes us better or worse. You are
what you are because of what you have been thinking,
saying, and doing. Each one is a child of his own doings.
