The Christmas Vapor

Every year Christmas comes faster. The older we get the faster the year passes. James likens our lives to a vapor (James 4:14). It feels like we are born one minute and die the next. But that vapor is a gift from God. It has a divine purpose from our first breath to our last.

We cannot see the spiritual world. Our physical limitations prevent us from grasping what is going on around us (2 Kings 6:17). We are in a battle (Ephesians 6:12) but the victory is predetermined(Hebrews 4:1-4). There is no day, as ordinary as it may seem, that God is not working in us, through us and for us.

This is the day The Lord has made for you (Psalm 118:24).
