Life is Short

Psalm 90: 12  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years…So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

For most of us, we will live 70 to 90 years. “For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.” Every day is a gift given to us by God. When this life we hold passes, we will stand before God and give an account for the days we have lived. How important it is to apply each day with God’s wisdom. To take time in our day to read His word and spend time with Him alone. We should never be too busy with work and life’s responsibilities to put God on the back shelf of our life. Each day, He should be the center of life’s activities. Living each day with eternity in mind. To be spiritually minded is to live each day in the presence of God and to be ready when He choose to call us home, or when the trump of God is sounded. 

Delayed Judgment

Ecc. 8:11 “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”-

Delayed Judgment. Be sure your sin will find you out. The judgment or consequences of sin will come. It may not be during one’s life span, but eternity will bare out the full judgment of God. Man does not fool God, God will have the last word. One might think they are getting away with sinning without consequence, but there will come a day when God will judge every man’s work, and will reveal what man has done in the flesh. To the person, who is set on doing evil and living wickedly, they will stand before God and give an account for the life they have lived. Just because sin has not fully reaped what has been sown, does not mean that the evil or wicked living is justified. There is coming a day when we all will stand before God and give an account, may our work be found to be good and acceptable. May he say to us, “‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things; ...Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’
