James 4:14
14 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.
Mist does just one thing: it disappears. It gets burned away with the sun or blown away with the breeze. Why would James say that about us? Aren’t we God’s people? Don’t most of these God Time posts make us feel special and loved? In Him, we will live again, but this life is incredibly brief.
That’s just it, your life is a mist that is incredibly loved, emphatically loved. But this life is still just a mist. We have to both accept God’s love and lay down any pretension to being God, being like God, or even just lower case g gods who go about doing our own thing. Look up from your own life, short and fading, and worship the one who will never diminish.
Prayer prompt: Lord, help me to enjoy knowing that you are God and I am your creation.
