Psalm 39:4-7
Life is like a vapour. It vanishes away, and eternity starts. Life is so short. David describes it as a few hand breadths. We stand at a mere breathe. We do things, not knowing if we will reap the rewards of our labour, and if not us, who it will be. We do not have enough time to waste on ourselves. We cannot live life for our own glory and pleasure. No. We must live it for God’s glory and honour. We do not know where we will be tomorrow, or even if we will be alive tomorrow. We can plan, but it is the Lord that directs our way.
Live life for God. Don’t waste it on yourself and your pleasures. Seek to honour and glorify God with the time he has given you. You don’t have one or two years. In fact, you may not even have one hour. Or even a minute. Do all for the glory of God.
Live each moment as if it were the last. Think to yourself: if I were to meet God the minute I said or do this, would I be embarrassed, or will he be pleased. Don’t put things off for next time. There may never be a next time.
