“Woosh! Another Day
Gone”
I went to bed last night wondering where the
day went and I woke up this morning wondering where the night went and then I
looked at the date and am wondering where the year went. Last
thing I remember was waking up on January 1 and now it is already November 8.
What is up with that? I find the older I get the
faster the days seem to fly by. Wasn’t it just yesterday
that I was at the lake with dad frustrating him every time I tangled the line
when I cast or hung it up in a tree? Wait I remember I was
just under the hood of that old Plymouth Valiant trying to get it to run
again. Wait it was just yesterday that I dropped my son off
for his first day of school. I wonder if God looks at
things like this. I wonder if he is saying, “You know it
was just yesterday that I said ‘Let there be light’”. No,
he isn’t saying that because of his omnipotence he is still in the first day
saying it. He is still on that fishing trip with my dad and
I and under the hood and at that first day of school. But
He says in His word that this life is precious and very short and we should
live it to the fullest. Love deeply and long be quick to
listen and slow to speak. Be patient , kind, without envy
and do not boast or proud. He wants us to not be rude or
self-seeking, not easily angered and never keep a record of wrong that someone
does against us. He doesn’t want us to delight in evil
and He wants us to rejoice with the truth. He wants us to
always protect and trust and hope. He wants us to persevere
because He never fails. Yes that is from 1 Corinthians 13
but my point today is that we are not promised our next breath. What
are you going to do with yours?
PRaP These:
Psalm
104:29
When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.

Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of
what account is he?
Mark
15:37
With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
John
20:22
And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the
Holy Spirit.
Acts

And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he
himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
