Life is fleeting, it goes by so quickly.

Life is fleeting, it goes by so quickly.

September 11, 2024

Life is fleeting, it goes by so quickly. One minute you are young and enjoying life to its fullest and the next thing you know you are in the last quarter of your life. When we are young, we believe that we have all the time in the world, but that is not true for you never know what will happen. So, make the most of each day. If God were here today, no matter what age you are, what do you think He would tell you? I believe He would tell you about the importance of loving one another. The 2 Great Commandment—to love your God with all your heart, mind, and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. I believe He would talk about forgiveness. That you need to forgive others as God forgives you. I also believe He would tell you to enjoy life, see the beauty around you. For God gave us life so that we might enjoy all things. God would also tell you don’t worry so much. For you cannot change the past. You do not know what the future holds, but you have today. This very moment, so make the most of it. Then He would say, “No matter what happens I am with you. It will work out. It always does. And if you go through tribulation and heartache know that I will be with you. Holding you up.” Ephesians 5:15-17 reads, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is.” We do not know what lies ahead, but one thing I am sure of is that those who walk with the Lord know that with God on our side we will persevere. God Bless. Amen.
