Thoughts for another day

March 28, 2007

Today's verse: Jas. 4:14. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Have you ever thought – how durable are you? From the above verse we get a fair idea, I’d say. Man is so weak that a small mishap and he’s finished. Gone forever. No sign at all. However, our actions betray this little fact. We behave as if we are going to live forever. We plan things and in planning make do as if we will definitely be there all the while as well as live long enough to enjoy the fruits of the plan. And life continues and makes us feel invincible. The world adds to this sinister wisdom.

The sad irony is that we do not know what is to happen, not just the next day, but also the next moment. Within the wink of an eye, worlds have tumbled for some. Some people have had their lives changed completely. And God embellishes the fact that the morrow will be far different than you have ever imagined. He alone holds complete control.

How well are we geared to embrace this little fact? Are we ready to welcome anything that may come our way? To tell you the secret of how to be prepared; just be tuned to God all the time. There is a song which goes: Footsteps walking with me, footsteps I cannot see, but every move I make and every step I take, I know they are there with me; they walk with me all the way, besides me day by day; thru’ good and bad, though happy and sad, His footsteps walking away... and this song is a great idea to sing all the time, knowing well that the God of the universe marches with you as you move along. My dear friend, don’t despair… because He marches with you even if you don’t want Him and He loves you far more than you can even think. Trust in His love.
