"What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes."
Points to Ponder:
Maybe it's age. Maybe it is recent events with a friend's passing. I don't know, but I find myself giving some thought to the "What's next". Are you, like me, living mostly for today? I was thinking this week, am I storing up treasures in heaven? What heavenly reward am I sacrificing because I'm living more the self-life than the surrendered life?
What is a mist? It is nothing of substance that you can grip or grasp, try and it wafts away. Life is much like that. The harder we try to hang on the less of a hold we have on it.
I was reading in Psalms this morning, Psalm 39:4 "O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!" I wrote in the margin of my Bible, "Lord - am I living in light of eternity?" Because at the end of the day, at the end of my life, eternity will be all that matters.
Blessings,
Diane
