13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” 14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away.
James 4:13-14
Life on this planet is brief and uncertain. We can make our plans and preparations and there is wisdom in doing so. However, our path can be changed in an instant. Nothing is guaranteed in this life and we must acknowledge that fact.
Life is short and no one is promised tomorrow. James tells us that our lives are like a vapor, a cloud. We appear for a short while and then we are gone. The words of the Apostle are true and faithful.
As a result of this, let us live our lives in a way that honors and pleases God. May we, as the Lord’s people, be faithful to His Word, His will, and His ways. Only one life will soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last.
