Life Is Truly A Vapor

Life is but a vapor of time, we live and die before 30 seconds expire on the eternal time continuum. Where we ultimately reside (eternally) depend upon the decisions we make in this temporary vapor of time into which we are born. There really is but precious few nano-seconds within which we have to make an eternal judgment. It really is a very risky proposition to try and have our cake and eat it too. Many want to put off a decision to serve Christ until the last possible moment. These want to exhaust all possible avenues for self-indulgence or self-gratification and then make a final decision to take out a little "fire insurance". I once heard it put that those that have a change late in life is analogized in the phrase, "everybody brushes their teeth before they go to the dentist". In this statement the meaning is clear, we all want to go to our maker as clean as possible. This concept is age-old and one that has a very small probability of coming about. It is just very hard to live a life centered around selfishness and switch totally to one of humility, emptying one's self to be filled with the life of Jesus. It may be possible, but it also may be possible for me to shoot into the ground like Jed Clampet and become a billionaire overnight. The probability is very small to non-existent. Don't keep putting it off, make your decision today, choose life(your own). Don't wait until you are faced with a crisis, or when you are stuck between a rock and a hard place to take a stand,
I really dis-like the term making a decision, it really means taking a stand for righteousness, instead of living the deception that makes me think I'm doing it my way. There are other sinister forces that have the power to deceive, just as in the movie ,"The Matrix", when the character Neo discovers that the life He is living is not really real, but a simulated life that is very convincing from a huge web of Artificial Intelligence. The bodies of everyone are really being used for a type of living energy source. The forces of evil will spread a web of lies and deceit for us to believe so that we too, may choose a path that seems pleasant, fun and sometimes even the right way to live, but in the end leads to sadness, misery, loneliness, and ultimately spiritual death. Jesus taught us to take the path less traveled, the path that leads to life.

Yes, life is but a vapor as it reads in James 4:14- whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
