Lailah Gifty AkitaDon't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but be anxious to do the will of God.
About This Quote
In the Bible, “the rest of your lives” is the phrase that describes what we call death. When we go to sleep, we will never wake up again. But we can spend our lives pursuing what we want and living our own desires. That is called the “rest of your lives.” And, as Paul said in Philippians 4:11, we should instead be anxious to do what God wants and live according to his will.
