| Life Is Short |
| Jacob said: |
| “Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been” (Genesis 47:9). |
| David said: |
| “There is but a step between me and death” (1 Samuel 20:3). |
| Moses said: |
| “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). |
| (Notice the title of the Psalm.) |
| Job said: |
| “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not” (Job 14:1-2). |
| James said: |
| “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). |
| The question is not how long we will live, but where will we be when we leave planet earth? |
