Last week, I awoke early one morning and sat outside facing to the east watching the sun rise for a new day. I was looking out over a small body of water which was covered with a fine vapor of mist. As I viewed this, I was reminded of James 4:14, “Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.” As I sat and reflected on the glory of a new day and the fact that the vapor on top of the water would soon be gone as the morning sun rose in the sky, I knew that there can be no more wasted days.
I have been brought into this life for a reason and a purpose. God has gifted me in certain areas and to utilize these gifts is to exercise His true will in my life. At times, I feel as if I am kicking and screaming trying to find my way when I realize my greatest joy when I labor in the way that He has formed me. I say that my life is His yet as I sat that morning, I had to ask myself honestly have I truly given all who I am over to the Master?
My life could be called from me at anytime. I know that but like the Apostle Paul, I hold onto the faith that God has perfected me through Jesus Christ in order to do His will and His plan is for me to do that to the best of my ability. I know that living my life within His will allows me to scream Hallelujah. When my last Hallelujah is proclaimed, then I know it is time to go home and return to the Master.
