"...it's easy to think about today as just another day. An average day where you go about life concerned with your to-do list, preoccupied by appointments, focused on family, thinking about your desires and needs.
On the average day, we live caught up in ourselves. On the average day, we don't consider God very much. On the average day, we forget that our life truly is a vapor.
But there is nothing normal about today. Just think about everything that must function properly just for you to survive."
That last sentence ... have you ever stopped and really thought about everything that must occur just for you to take a breath? For your heart to beat? For blood to go to your toes, then return for fresh oxygen?
Just to begin thinking about it can be overwhelming and yet - God created every single process that makes us function!
In college I was required to attend chapel everyday ... and most days the speakers were wonderful. After a few years though only a few of the many hundreds stands out. One that stands out was a missionary from South Africa. He stood up on stage with a spray bottle ... spraying it and saying the word vapor over and over throughout his message.
In the course of time our lives truly are only a vapor ... a short burst of mist ... how are you going to use your vapor? What can you do to live differently knowing that each day is not just average ... but extraordinary?
