YOU ARE A MIST

James 4:14

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.

A doctor that had been desperately trying to contact one of his patients was finally able to speak with the man via phone. The doctor told his patient, “I have the results of your tests. Which do you want to hear first: the bad news or the very bad news?" His patient responded, "Well, I guess I'll take the bad news first." With that the doctor replied, "Well the bad news is, you have only 24 hours to live." His patient in a state of shock asked, "24 hours to live? That's horrible! What could be worse than that? So what's the very bad news?" The doctor replied, "I've been trying to contact you for 23 hours." It’s a really silly story, but the Bible tells us that our lives are like a mist appearing for a short while and then vanishing quickly. Let’s be real about the fact that your life can end at any point. Because life is short, you need to be ready for whatever tomorrow brings by entrusting your life to God. He knows your story, He knows what you really need and He's an expert on everything.
