LIFE AT ITS BEST IS SHORT
MEMORY VERSE: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (JAMES 4:14).
James asks, “For what is your life?” Moses replies, life is like an interesting story – momentarily enjoyable but soon forgotten. And to Job, life is like a weaving machine that spins fast and furious then stops suddenly.

Isaiah says life is like a flower that flourishes at sunrise and perishes at sunset. James himself compares it to a vapour that distills and disappears all at once. A poet wrote:
“When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept,
When as a youth I dreamed and talked, time walked,
When I became a full grown man, time ran,
And later as I older grew, time flew,
Soon I shall find while traveling on, time gone.”
The tragedy for the average person is that he is too busy with the business of life to consider the brevity of life. Richard L. Evans states it powerfully, “The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”
Today, take time to ponder on these sobering thoughts: Who am I? What am I doing here? And, where do I go from here? Then pray for wisdom to live righteously.
QUOTE: Where do I go from here?
CHALLENGE: Think deeply how time dictates eternity.
PRAYER: Give me wisdom, Lord, to live right
