In James 4 the writer asks, “What is your life?” In the same verse of Scripture, he answers the question by saying, “It is even a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.”

Our life is brief! If you were guaranteed you would live to be 100 years old, you would only live 36,500 days. A mere few days to prepare for an eternal home of the soul.

Our life is fragile! Our hearts can stop at any moment. Arteries can rupture. Disease can destroy. Who could have known that Dale Earnhart would not be with us today?

Our life is certain to end! Jehovah has declared that all have an appointment with death and judgment. It is really another step in the process of life.

The time of death is uncertain! We do not know how long we will live on earth. May we live each day as if it were our last day — always prepared for judgment!
