Time Flies, Having Fun or Not

“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.” (James 4:14)
Scripture Focus: James 4:13-17

Where have the years gone? This was the question many former classmates were asking at our 30th class reunion at Salem High School reunion. Many of us had not seen one another since graduation, and we were aware of the changes 30 years had inflicted on us. Some formerly thin classmates had gained more than a little weight. In many cases hair had turned to gray or white. For most of us, our gait was a bit slower and our hearing a bit duller, but sweet memories of class activities, school life, and early friendships.

Whether you are in your twenties, forties, or eighties, you know that time flies. Taking our first driving test for a license is just a blip on life’s radar screen. And wasn’t it just yesterday that we started our first job?

We cannot recover the past, but if we spend today and each succeeding day doing God’s will, we will have no regrets at the end of life’s journey. Now is always the best time to serve Him.

Insight: It isn’t so important how many years you put in here on earth. What is really important is what you put into the years.
