What is your life?

James 4:14 (KJV)
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.

The bible describes our lives here on earth as a mere vapour that is here for a quick moment and then vanishes. If you really delve into this it will speak volumes. The earth has been in existence for billions of years, yet we are only on it for 80, 90, or 100 years at most. So in this short period of time, what are we doing with our lives?

In this time are we following Gods will for our lives or are we to worried about 401k’s, stock options, and preparing for “the end” ? We are here on this planet to make a difference, and make a difference for God. Our lives belong to our creator, we were redeemed from sure destruction and death by the blood of Jesus Christ (I Peter 1:18-19). It’s time for Gods people to make Him and His work our only focus, and as you begin to do this everything else that we spend so much time worrying about will be taken care of.

Each and every one of us has a work to do that God has ordained for us to do. The question is; will you do it, or be side tracked by the cares of your personal lives or what is on the news?

I Peter 1:17 (GNB)
You call him Father, when you pray to God, who judges all people by the same standard, according to what each one has done; so then, spend the rest of your lives here on earth in reverence for him.

When the time comes for God to look upon your life and see what you have done for Him, what will He say?


Matthew 16:27 (GNB)
For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to his deeds.

Our time here on earth is so valuable, precious, and very limited, so make sure that you are living up to your God given potential in everything you do. I’m not saying that everyone should stop what they’re doing and start preaching, God has a place in every aspect of life. If you were called to be a lawyer make sure that everyone of your associates and clients sees the Christ in you. If you are a college student, make sure that you stand out in a good way on campus. Whatever you do, do it for Christ.

Colossians 3:23 (GNB)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.

I pray that this has been a blessing on your life.
