"Life is a Vapour". I had another devotion ready to post but The Spirit has taken me in a different direction. Life is a Vapour, here one minute and gone the next instant. Someone once said, life is like money, spend it anyway you wish but you only get to spend it once. Well last night I had the loss of life in my friend and earth family world, two individuals as a matter a fact. The two men didn't know one another as far as I know and the only thing they had in common was that they both left this world and entered the next on the same evening. The thing about dying is, we don't know when that will take place. We are told in the Bible that death is certain unless Jesus comes before your time and you're a Christian, then you'll be caught away with Jesus in the air!! As they say "Life is fragile, handle with care". Unfortunately life comes at us so fast that we don't see a lot of stuff that's about to hit us hard and knock us off our feet. That's why we need Jesus to be our companion, to help protect us from the things we don't see coming nor have any knowledge of. Don't ever say what you want do, because you don't know until you walk in someone else's shoes, you just don't know. My two friends that passed away were worlds apart. One as was twenty years of age, one in his fifties, one took his life and one died in the hospital due to complications. The news came to me about both in a matter of a ten minute time span, which reminds us once again that we need to live every day to the fullest and know that when we go to bed at night that we have had a full day of "Life to the Fullest". Death will come, usually without notice so be ready for eternity at any time. You may say, Bro Scott, Why do people die so young? Life doesn't come with a time frame; you just have to make the most of life while you have it in your hands. There are two things today that we need to do; 1- Pray for those that have lost their love ones, you don't know when you will need their prayers. 2- Check your heart and make sure you are ready to face eternity; it's coming faster than you think!!
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
(Matthew 11:28). Just come to Jesus, He will take care of the rest!!
