You are a Mist Acknowledge God

“Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 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. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.” James 4:13-16.

The Prophet Isaiah says, “ A voice says “Cry out.” And I said what shall I cry “All men are like grass, and their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall but the word of our God Stands forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8.
Man is limited. We cannot predict what the next day, or for that matter what the next minute will bring.
We, if we are Christians, need to submit to God every moment of our lives. We cannot assume anything.
I remember one day seeing my sister-in-law in good spirits. We talked and everything seemed fine. A short time later I was standing beside her grave. She was fifty-four. With seemingly everything to live for.
Life is fragile and we need to handle it with prayer. Thanking the God of our salvation for it every day.
