God is, and has been, and will always be. I am like the small red dot on the black line of forever. When I have this perspective everything changes and priorities are made clear. The psalmist wrote “O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah” Psalm 39:4-5

How differently I would live if I remembered how brief this life is. Our life is like a vapor that comes and goes, but God is eternal. I want to make the most of the time I have here so that one day in heaven I will hear “Well done good and faithful servant.”
