Vapor

 

I got up Sunday morning and took a shower to get clean for church.  But I forgot to turn on the bathroom fan before I got in, so when I stepped out of the shower, steam had filled the bathroom.  I dried off, grabbed the bathroom door handle, and used the door as a giant fan to get the vapor out so that I could see a little.  Within moments, the steam had cleared, and I could continue to get ready for church.  But then I paused a moment and thought of James 4:14, “… For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”  How true!  It seems like only yesterday that I was in high school.  And that was 55 years ago!  Hey, don’t laugh at me.  You’ll turn around once or twice and your life will be over - your life here on earth, that is.  But you will live forever somewhere.  The question is, where will that somewhere be?  Think about your eternal destiny before your brief life is over.  That vapor lasts for such a short time, but eternity lasts forever.  Really.
