We have only a short time to tell our life-story. We need to be busy in the right place, right thing, for the right person and the right purpose. Life is like a maze of earthly pathways with a multitude of decisions. The responsibility of living can be bewildering.
Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Life is brief. The earthly scene isn't intended to be man's eternal abode. Our mind and body are constantly wearing out. We should face life as a great privilege, challenge and trust, and take advantage of the opportunities afforded us. The only satisfactory way to meet life and enjoy it to its fullest is to let Christ become the center of it.
James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away.
