So, Job said it and it’s in the Bible and it’s true. Life is short.
Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good. Job 7:7 WEB
Time flies away like the wind. A moment it’s here and another moment, the memories are what remain.
Each moment is of value. Make it count.
Time does not stop for anyone or any thing.
It is here now and gone tomorrow.
Like the clouds are a vapor.
Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee:
verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Psalm 39:5
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. Psalm 78:39
The flesh will pass away, only what we do for Eternity will matter. God will reward our efforts to Him.
Choose His ways and all the emptiness will fade away and His righteousness will remain.
His days are like a shadow. A shadow, here this moment, gone the next. Full of nothing substantial.
You see it but you cannot grasp it. Its energy is unable to be caught.
Sure, snap a photo, which will be meaningless just like the shadow itself.
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. Psalm 144:4
Keep your eyes on the Eternal, the things in this world that matter which are not always easy to find.
Jesus is our treasure and our abundance in the Heavenly realm.
If we only plant things of this world, we shall have an empty basket.
