Life is a Vapor, Quickly Passing

1 Peter 1:22-25 KJV
22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Barren Cross, "Living Dead", they warn,

"Life is but a burning blade of grass, before you know it earth will be your past!"

Before you know it! Many times in life I've marvelled over how quickly the years go by. Our time is short! Days are few, opportunities for eternal gain grow fewer with every passing day.

I have to make the most of every moment! I've wasted SO many!

How do we order our minds to live in the fulness of fervency to complete the works Jesus created us to walk in?

Ephesians 2:10 KJV
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Jeremiah 6:16 KJV
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Psalms 90:12 KJV
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Much love!

I know right! When you are Younge time just creeps and when you are old it flies. Redeem the time, for the days are evil!

"Life is but a burning blade of grass, before you know it earth will be your past!"

Life is a Vapor, Quickly Passing

Passing…Makes me think of Revelation 11:14 so does “Life is but a burning blade of grass, before you know it earth will be your past!"
…The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe comes quickly.

Revelation 22:20-21 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. [21] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

 

[Cristo Rei]

Some people may reach 100 years on earth and that seems like a long time.
But eternity is waiting on the other side and even 100 years is only a tiny little fraction of eternity

 

[MatthewG]

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.

 

[Dropship]

...Jeremiah 6:16 KJV
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Reminds me of this poem by Christina Rossetti about a weary traveller hoping to find rest at the end of the day, just as we're all weary travellers on life's road-
