James 4:14 says; “Your life is like a mist, you can see it for a short time, but then it goes away.” Nobody lives one moment longer than what God allows. In Psalms 139:16 David declares; “All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old.” Only God knows how long anyone will live.
This makes life very precious. No matter how many years we live it is but a moment in eternity. Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:8 that; “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.”
Psalms 90:12 says; “Teach us how short our lives really are so that we may live wisely.” In Ecclesiates Solomon tells us that the way man lives is vanity. There is no profit from labor, the eye is never satisfied, there is nothing new under the sun and that those who come after us will not remember us.
In God’s eyes no one lives longer than they should and no one dies untimely. What is important is how we live the time that God has given us and our relationship with God when we leave this earth.
Solomon concludes therefore in the last chapter of Ecclesiates; “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandants, for this is the whole duty of man.” The wise way to live is as God’s adopted son or daughter through believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior.
