“…For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14, NKJV).
If you were given $86,400 every day, how would you spend it? You would not be allowed to save it from day to day; the dollars you did not use would be lost forever.
Each day we are given 86,400 seconds. They cannot be saved up, and those we waste are lost forever. Life is short and precious.
For some people there are not enough hours in a day, and for others there are too many. The most important aspect of each day is what we do with our temporary time here on earth. Our lives are a vapor, easily dissolved. We are like the grass and the flower that blooms and then is gone. Each one of us is one heartbeat from meeting our Lord and Savior.
It is not our accomplishments that will be remembered, but how we lived our lives for Jesus. Did we work for the Kingdom of God or the kingdom of self? Do we live for today or are we living for tomorrow?
Today, ask God how you can live your life for Him and make every second of every minute of every hour of every day special.
Life is PRECIOUS!
