Pay Attention Today to Your Life's Brevity

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:13-17 NIV)

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. But the wind passes over, and soon all disappears; and his place will no more exist.

Are you ready to die? Have you left anything undone that you would do today if you knew you were going to die tomorrow? If so, you need to do it today. "For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (Jas. 4:14).
