Macro Mondays: Time
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. - James 4:14
« ...For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and then vanisheth away.» James 4:14

«Porque, que é a vossa vida? É um vapor que aparece por um pouco, e depois se desvanece.» Tiago 4:14
“In an Instant”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
While at Radnor Lake State Park, another photographer and I found a chipmunk storing up acorns for the winter. He was surprised upon seeing us and immediately froze. It did not take long for him to continue carrying his treasures back to his burrow.
In an instant life can change and take us by surprise—sometimes tragically. Sunday, the world mourned the death of nine people in a helicopter crash including Kobe Bryant and his daughter. They boarded the craft not knowing it would be their last day alive.
James 4:14 states, “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes.”
If you were on that helicopter, do you know whether you would be with your maker in Heaven? You have the moment right now to seal your eternal destination.
It’s as simple as ABC. A — Admit that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23)
B — Believe that Jesus, God’s only son, was born and died on the cross for your sins. (Acts 16:31)
C — Confess and repent of your sins and ask Him to be Lord of your life. (1 John 1:9)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

How do you know what will happen even tomorrow? What, after all, is your life? It is like a puff of smoke visible for a little while and then dissolving into thin air. — James 4:14
The Barrier Islands, Mississippi
One of the most unique places in the state of Mississippi lies just beyond its beautiful coastline. Stretching nearly eighty miles across the state’s Gulf of Mexico shore, a chain of five narrow, elongated islands offer an unusual landscape and a peaceful refuge for those who make the effort to explore them.
The islands — Petite Boise, Horn, East and West Ship, and Cat — are part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore Park. Each island has its own unique history, features, and possibilities for relaxation and adventure. All five islands are accessible by private boat and chartered cruises, but only Ship Island offers regular passenger ferry service.
Visitors on day trips can choose from a range of activities, including hiking, bird-watching, fishing, kayaking, and snorkeling. Boaters and kayakers, however, are wise to keep an eye on weather conditions, because the islands are always vulnerable to storms blowing in from the gulf. Hurricanes have actually submerged parts of the islands beneath the sea, changing their shapes and shorelines.
Visitors might find these islands to be scenic hidden jewels, but in stormy times no one should place confidence in them as a refuge.
Confidence is a positive quality for every Christian — as long as that confidence rests in God Himself.
The very best confidence we can have is rooted in the character, wisdom, and power of the Creator. Human abilities falter. Health can change in a heartbeat. Finances can blow away like leaves in the wind. Trusted relationships can fail or be swept away by death. Even loved and respected Christian leaders can stumble. But when we anchor our confidence in the eternal God, we can rest with full assurance. The apostle Paul reminds us that in all the great and unpredictable storms of life, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. — Romans 8:37
“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
I thought of that this golden April afternoon as I stood on the shores of Lake Gregory. I watched as Ella scooped sand and pebbles into her tiny fist, and in her awkward little girl way, threw the drifting grains toward the lapping water.
ODC Begins with E
For those of us who boast about today or tomorrow. In better context:
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. - James 4:13-17
Busyness without purpose is as futile as idleness. Make your time count...today!

(I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray)
But when I woke up this morning
I could have sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
(Tryin' to run from the destruction
And you know I didn't even care)
(Prince ~ 1999)
