What is Your Life? – Paul M. Williams

James 4:14 James, writing under the inspiration of God, asks his audience a question —and by extension, to us also, "For what is your life?"  Everyman thinketh in his heart, though he may not say it, LONG…PLENTEOUS...OF GREAT LENGTH!!!!  But what saith James?  "It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away".  Selah!!  Job puts it this way, "Man that is born of a woman is of few days...He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not" (Job 14:1-2). "Behold (saith David), thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah" (Ps. 39:5).  Tell me Christian, what are you living for, or can I put it this way, WHO are you living for?  Oh that each one us might say, "For me to live is Christ" (Phil. 1:21).
