Tomorrow

James 4: 14,15 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away… For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Life happens, but it does not happen without God allowing it. We do our best to control our environment and the circumstances and situations that surround it. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we need to be careful how we care for it. We have a responsibility to use our talents for the good of humanity and for eternity. We must do all we can to provide for our families and care for those that God has charged us with. But, things happens and most often we have no control. We look to God for answers because He holds all things in His hands. We are not are own, we belong to God and our lives are His. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but we know who holds our tomorrows. Live for the moment to please Him, plan for tomorrow with eternity in mind.

To Die is Gain

Phil 1:21 “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”-

For a Christian who believe in the resurrection of life, a life beyond this earth, death is a win-win situation. To continue to live and breathe on this world is to be able to live for Christ and show forth His love to the world. To die is to be with Him forever. “Death where is your sting, grave where is your victory” No doubt, life on earth will come to an end for all who are born to this earth. If we live to be 80 or more, we have lived beyond the average life expectancy for those who live in the USA. Life is like a vapor, it is here for a moment and they it is gone. The short life we live is a gift from God. But, the greatest gift is that of eternal life. Eternal life through Christ. Even though death is a river we all must cross, and it is one that we all avoid, the fear of it can be removed when we believe that Christ will conquer death for us and we will be with Him for eternity. Let us live today to fulfill the purpose that Christ gave us breathe, and let us be always ready to die, so we can be forever with Him.
