“ Our Time to Eternity !? “ James 4:13-17 … In the example James uses in v.13, it appears that the love of money has subtly driven these men away from God. Work is more than the means to a paycheck, which then buys us the stuff we want. God owns everything of this life could bring even our money, and He lets us use it to bring as much glory to Him as we can. Is God being glorified with our wallet? And we should do more than invest our money in God’s work – we need to also invest our lives,. Choosing to live each and every minute for Him is the best way to set our priorities. “Since life is so brief, we cannot afford merely to “spend our lives”; and we certainly do not want to “waste our it.” We must invest our lives in those things that are eternal. for we are also eternal chosen by Him in His own image and likeness,God reveals His will in His Word, and yet most of us ignore it. God gives precepts, principles, and promises that can guide and bless us in every area of our lives. And a good place to start our live’s biggest investment is with a solid foundation in His word ,The psalmist knew this and recorded it in the first few verses of the book of Psalms. 1:1-3 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners,Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither;And whatever he does shall prosper. Further, remember that this life is brief. It’s a vanishing vapor, as James put it. The primary purpose of life on earth is preparation for the life to come.never the less life is only 90 years in seldom fellow,sometimes 80, and sometimes we never begins to see them yet for devine purpose.. The time is short. Our opportunities are passing, For what is our lives? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. Be up and doing. Soon we shall be gone. May we never hear the summons to go home while there is anything left undone that we ought to have done for our Lord and Master! The point is this: we forget and ignore our nature—who we are, how limited we really are, how uncertain life with all its happenings and events really is. Our lives at most are only as a vapor that appears for a brief time and then vanishes away. Not only is our knowledge limited, but our very lives are uncertain. We may not be here next year. Life is short no matter how long we live. We should not be deceived into thinking we have plenty of time left to live for Christ, to enjoy our loved ones, or to do what we know we should. Today is the day to live for God! Then, no matter when our lives end, we will have fulfilled God’s plans for us.” Prov. 19:21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’S counsel--that will stand”.” Prov. 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. “ We must acknowledge that God is sovereign,We must acknowledge that he holds everything in his hands. We must acknowledge that without him we can do nothing. What we really ought to have is the Guide himself. Our maps,our road signs, etc. may help to find our way,yet infinitely better is someone who has been there before us and knows the way.. Will we seek God’s will?or Will we still seek our own?.with His infinite grace and mercy we come to Him in awe,To Him who is the author and finisher of our faith, to Him be the Glory Forever!!!....Amen !!!
