James 4:14 - The Brevity of Life.

James 4:14 (NLT) How do you know what your 
life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the 
morning fog - its here a little while, then 
its gone.  

INTRODUCTION

Life is short no matter how many years we 
live. Don't be deceived into thinking that you 
have lots of remaining time to live for Christ, 
to enjoy your loved ones, or to do what you 
know you should. Live for God today! Then, no 
matter when your life ends, you will have fulfilled 
God's plan for you. [Life Application SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I am not a spontaneous person. I love to 
plan, and seeing my calendar full makes me happy. 
But as a mom of ten children, my days rarely go 
as planned. I've made arrangements with friends 
only to have my children become ill. I've 
designed a relaxing evening only to hear about a 
significant school project due the next day. Flat tires, 
drop-in visitors, and serious late-night talks often 
surprise me. Each day seems to bring something 
different. 
   Unlike me, your life may not be full of 
family interruptions, yet my guess is your days 
rarely go as planned either. The only thing we can 
know for sure about tomorrow is that Jesus will 
be there with us. We may not know where we'll 
be tomorrow or next year. We may have 
unexpected losses or extraordinary surprises, but we 
can have hope knowing Jesus will be there. As 
fragile as life can sometimes be, Jesus cares 
greatly for each of us. While we may not control our 
calendar, we can continue to turn our hearts to the 
One who will be with us, no matter what tomorrow 
holds. 
   After all, nothing surprises Him. Tricia 
Goyer 
   Faith Step: Take out your calendar and 
write these words in the spaces of upcoming days: 
Jesus is not surprised." Then thank Jesus for the 
hope you can have every day as you trust in Him.
