You are {just} a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away".
James 4:14
So there it is. Laid out so all can see. I'm truly transparent before the world. Yes, I am a vapor.
| (vapor: tiny particles of a liquid or solid suspended in or diffused through air or gas, such as smoke or mist.) |
Well, then that's me.
Therefore, to one who knows {the} right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
James 4:17
Ouch! You know that one hurts. So I'm a sinner and a vapor. What that's telling me is that I've just got a short time on this earth to get it right. I need to make the most of my time. Here's the problem...James 4:17
I know that it's the right thing yet I fail to do it and therefore...yep...it's sin. Oh boy...this is hard!
The one thing that can save me, and I mean there is a way that this can be done, and that is the grace of God. It is only the grace that He provides freely that will make this vapor-life mean anything. It's just too short to just chase your tail and die. Having meaning and purpose, definitely breathes life into this vapor. Whoa! That is cool!
Yes, I am a vapor but a meaningful vapor. :)
