Good Morning!
As James 4:14 tells us, this life is just a vapor that appears for a while and vanishes away. We need to live with forever on our minds. The things that we do now will affect our eternity.
God’s will is for all of us to spend eternity with him, yet He does not force Himself upon us. We all must make the decision to take up our cross and carry it, living a life that is wholeheartedly surrendered to Him. God gives His word to lead us, guide us and give all of the direction we need to find Him in our lives. Don’t take for granted a single day in your life as tomorrow is never promised.
Read each of these verses about Forever and decide today that you will live with “forever on your mind.”
I love you and am praying for you today!
Dad
James 4:13-17 NKJV
[13] Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; [14] whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. [15] Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” [16] But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. [17] Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
