How Are You Spending Your Life?

 How Are You Spending Your Life?

Scripture Reading: James 4:13-17

Focus Verses: James 4:13-14

"Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.  How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog. It's here a little while, then it’s gone.”

I’ve met some people, even Christians and they tell me their plans for their life like God has no say in what they are going to do.  Apparently they are not familiar with the verse in John 15:5 where Jesus said, “without Me you can do nothing.  We are dependent on God for our very next breath, and our very next heart beat.  Yes it’s good to plan for the future, but we should be in the mindset that we make plans and they will come to pass if it is God’s will.

God has the days numbered for every person on earth.  You may be in perfect health, but you could die today.  I see people living their lives like they are going to live on this earth forever.  The truth is they will live forever but not on this earth.  Every person will live forever in heaven or hell. That is our choice.

Life passes by quickly.  I will have a birthday next month when I turn 65 years old.  It seems like the older I get the faster the years go by.  Our focus verse says our life is like the morning fog.  It’s here and then it’s gone.  How are you spending your life?  For the majority of my life I have chosen to tell others about Christ. Some people listen and some don’t.  That’s what I’ll do until I leave this earth.  There is really nothing more important that I could do because the eternal destiny of every person hangs in the balance. Do something wise with your life and tell someone about Jesus.
