Since death is so prevalent in our society many times we are unaffected by it, unless we know the person who died or someone close to us loses a cherished family member or friend. Two young people died recently that made me stop and think about life. One was a high school football player from the Mobile area. 16 year old Josh Creagh died in a car accident. The other was 21 year old Angela Williams from Chicago. She was the daughter of a family friend who died from cancer.
My heart goes out to their families and I have no idea why they died so young. However, it does make me realize even at 29, how brief life is.
James 4:14 says, Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while then vanishes. Psalm 144:4 says, Man is like a breath, his days are like a fleeting shadow. Wow!!! Here today and gone tomorrow.
Since life is so short it is important to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour to reserve your place in heaven for eternity. There is no time to hold on to grudges, and let disagreements linger we need to make the most of our days.
We should be living lives that impact others not wasting time doing all types of foolishness and childish things. With so many people dying it is important to be thankful to be alive. The best way to show that you are thankful is to live a fruitful life, one characterized by good works.
