Scripture for today

Psalm 103:15-16 ASV

As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

No matter how rich or poor, hardworking or lazy, old or young, brilliant or dull, fragile or strong there is an end which we all will have to face and that is death. Life is like a shadow, so strong at noon but at night disappears. Our life is passing, it's not here forever today it's healthy and strong, tomorrow it's weak and gone. Our time in this body is too short, friends! It's too short for us to spend it day dreaming and wishing upon horses.  It's too short for us to spend it crying and weeping for all the things we don't have. It's too short for us to spend it nursing the wounds of our past errors and mistakes. It's too short to spend it in the palm of your manipulators. It's too short for you not to make meaning out of it. Get out and get the best out of life. 

This life here is momentary it leads us to eternity beyond. It's like a race where we are all running to win the price. For me I will be the best I can be. I want to leave this earth and people around me will have pleasant memories about me. I want to be a great steward of my short time here. This life is empty without Jesus. Let's pause for a moment and work to secure our eternity. We need a great security for our eternity and it can be found only in Jesus. Jesus is the way the Truth and life no one comes to the Father or gains blissful eternity life except through him. 

Prayer: Father, help me never to lose eternity with you.
