Bible Verse of The Day – 9-25-25

James 4:14 (NKJV) 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Life is a vapor.

Our mind does not want to understand the fact that we do not know what will happen tomorrow.

It’s in our nature to plan, to have control, and to take charge of our life. If we were told that tomorrow is it for us, it would devastate us.

Even as Christians, knowing that we will be with the Lord upon our last breath here on earth, for some reason we do not want to let go of what we have here.

And it is safe to say that most of us do not want to leave.

When I watched a man take his last breath a few years ago, I realized how fragile life is in all of us.

He was talking, thinking, looking around, and breathing one minute, and then in a matter of seconds he was gone. Just like that. No more breath, no more voice, no more laughter. His shell was there but his life was gone.

We are all human. We are magnificently designed, but our life is a vapor; we will vanish. Whether today, tomorrow or years from now, our day will come.

Understand that there is a bigger picture then just living on earth with our family and friends.

We must make sure that we are ready for our home in heaven. Know who our Father God is, and what His Son, Jesus Christ, came and did for us.

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-25

Ecclesiastes 3:2 (NKJV) 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

Most of us think very little about the brevity of our lives; the limited time we have here on earth in this human skin.

It is natural for us not to think about because we are busy living.

We do need to think about this from time to time, however, because doing so helps us to put things into perspective and keep our priorities straight.

This should not be considered a morbid topic. It should not be something that we fear to speak about or discuss with others.

Death is a fact of life. Ignoring it will not make it go away.

David expressed this well in the following Psalm.

Psalm 39:4-5 (NKJV) 4 “Lord, make me to know my end, And what is the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am. 5 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah

Our lives are nothing more than a vapor, a short span of time, and then we are gone.

So, considering this, we should make it a point to weigh our lives and use what we see to make adjustments that give our lives more purpose and more meaning.

What do our priorities look like?

Do we spend our time in ways that impact others for the kingdom of God?

Do we put God above all else?

Are we grateful to God for what He has blessed us with?

These three questions can shape (or re-shape) our lives if we take them seriously.

The question is, do we?

This may be very sobering for many of us. But that should not cause us to ignore it. On the contrary, we need to consider it.

Let today be the day that we ask ourselves what our legacy here will be when we are gone.

How will we be remembered? But more importantly, what impact will our life have for God’s kingdom?

That is the question for us all to consider.
