June 19th - Morning | LIFE IS SHORT
James 4:14
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.
A doctor that had been desperately trying to get hold of one of his patients was finally able to get a hold of the man by phone. The doctor told the patient, “We have the results of your tests. Which do you want first? The bad news or the very bad news?" His patient responded, "Well I guess I'll have the bad news first." With that the doctor replied, "Well the bad news is, you have only 24 hours to live." His patient, now in a state of shocked asked, "24 hours to live? That's horrible! What could be worse than that? So what's the VERY bad news?" The doctor told him, "I've been trying to contact you since yesterday." It’s a cute story, but the Bible tells us that our life is like a mist that appears and vanishes. Let’s face it – your life can end at any point because life is short. Even though your life is short, you can always be ready for whatever tomorrow brings by entrusting your life to God. |
