Refocus On What Really Matters

Why, 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.James 4:14

If you are not careful you can be so overly consumed by this present world and its’ joys and sorrows you can begin to think this is what you are living for. As you can see by today’s scripture your life is a mere vapor. Here today, gone tomorrow. 

During these fleeting days, of which you have no idea how may you have on Earth, perhaps it is time to take a look at what you have deemed crucial and important in life and how they matter for eternity. Do you put too much trust and hope in this world, which will pass away, or are you a kingdom person?  

One day you will stand before the Lord and give account for your life. Keep that in mind. Those you choose to associate with either get you closer to God or further away from Him. Ponder that for a moment. Do you say yes to worldly cultural pleasures more than things of the Lord? Do you start your day talking to God or running off and not even giving Him a passing thought? Today perhaps it is time to refocus on the Kingdom of God. 

PRAYER: This world has many things to distract a believer and keep us consumed with things that don’t matter. Help me recognize any strongholds in my life that may be more important than you and to refocus my life on the kingdom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
