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?
