Do You Hear What I Hear?

 Did you hear that? It was last week flying by at warp speed! The older we get, the faster time seems to go. James writes that life is like the morning fog that’s here for a little while and then disappears:

“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

Like the writer of Proverbs 27:1, James says not to presume we will do this or that tomorrow; we may not be here. Instead, we should say, “If the Lord will, we shall live and do this or that” (v. 15). God Almighty holds fleeting time in His hands; He wants to save all people from their sins (1 Tim 2:4). If His Spirit is dealing with your heart, don’t delay; repent and yield to His authority. Your decision determines where you will spend eternity. If He gave you the gift of today, make the best of it for His glory and your good.
