Length of Days Not
Promised Us
Life
Our very breath
We take it for granted
We know we all will pass away one day
But we act like that day will never
come
At least, not anytime soon
We waste it on the mundane
Not treasuring that this very moment
Will never come again
We get caught up in the day to day
life
Not treasuring our days
Nor our loved ones
Nor our friendships
The limited
finite
time
we have
If we did take our limited time
seriously
How would we live it
Would we spend it in fellowship with God
With our loved ones
Actively make our eternity count
In the here and now
Would we be motivated to act as God’s
hands and feet
His eyes
His ears
His heart
His mouthpiece
To usher in God’s Kingdom here on
earth
That His Will be done
Here on earth
As it is in heaven
In our lives
As well as in the lives of others
around us
Would we consider it a privilege
To have our breath
Today
This moment
Right now
Or would we act in denial
That one day
Any day
Could be our last day
Here on earth
