There was a day last week where Auckland city was covered in fog. You couldn’t really see anything apart from the tops of the so called “sky scrapers” and by that I mean the Sky Tower & the Vero building. (I’m not sure Auckland really has sky scrapers). By about 10am the fog had disappeared to reveal a cloudless crisp winters morning!
James 4:14 says
What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
What Is Your Life?
Are you breathing right now? … That means you’re alive.
But that next breath is not guaranteed! You may live your life, spend your money & use your time as if it is… but its not!
The bible says that our lives are but a mist or a vapour. A fog that lasts only a little while before vanishing.
This month in church our theme is on eternity.
Its got me thinking…
What if I went to the Doctors tomorrow and found out I only had five months left to live on this earth.
How would I live my life differently?
I think this question really puts things in perspective! There are certain things I would do more of, there a things I would do less of!
For me… I would have that much more of a desire to tell people about Jesus!
To lead people closer to Jesus!
So why don’t I live with that same fervency now? – I don’t have a good reason… therefore I am going to try and live like that NOW!
Our Lives are but a mist… Nothing is guaranteed!
What we do now… counts for all eternity.
What we do today matters!
Lets live each day as if it counts… Because it does!
