What Is Life?

The sermon at church yesterday really got me thinking. What is life? Life is full of so many things. Laughter, tears, happiness, sadness, weeping, rejoicing, anger, peace, full, empty, here...gone. You never know when you will take your last breath. You never know when you will be at the moment where you are no longer in this life but in eternity.
.
James 4:14 says is best, "Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." (NLT). I like that analogy. Your life is like the fog! Have you ever thought about that? I have driven in some serious heavy fog during the fall and winter months. Fog so dense I didn't think I was going to make it to my destination. But the Lord saw fit for me to get there and we made it. But within just a moment it seems like, that fog is lifted. It is gone.
.
I have never sat and seen fog slowly fade away. It is as if you blink and it is there, blink again and it is gone. That is how our life is. That is how God designed our lives to be. He filled man with breath from his very own nostrils and just as quickly he decides the appointed time for our breath to end.
.
I know there is someone reading this, at this very moment, who does not know Christ as their Lord and Savior. They can't call him Father. I sure wish you would today! Don't use the excuse that you don't know how....scroll down just a little bit and you'll see the ABC's of Salvation! It's just that easy. See, He sent his son to die on the cross for you, for me, for all of us! He didn't have to but he did. He doesn't force us to make that decision but He sure wants us to. Just as you want your children to make the right choices and do the right things...your Heavenly Father wants the exact same thing for you! I pray today that if you haven't made that decision that you will. What is life? It is like the fog! Here one minute...gone the next.
