Life here is to short
Fall has come yet again to my neck of the woods. This morning I saw the mist lifting and the sun shining through the thin vail. It was a magical moment of pure beauty. I could feel God close by, it was so intense those short seconds that I looked but what I felt was not only his presence but his breath. I know it might sound crazy but that was the feeing I had. That is how close I felt to Abba for a few seconds.
Psalm 73:28 ESV
But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
We get one life here on earth. Make the best of it and choose carefully, because how you choose here will determind where you spend eternety. God will not make that choice, just as he did not make any other choices for you. Only you can make that choice in how you live here and now. Tomorrow has not yet been written, so do not leave what you can do today wait, because you do not know.
James 4:13-17 ESV
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
