It's Good To Be Reminded

On September 8th, about two months ago, my dad called me and gave me the news that he has a tumor on his brain stem. At first, I was in a little shock so it didn't quite hit me right away exactly what that meant. This was a surprise to us, but not to God. He has preordained this to happen before the earth was created, and we know it's only for our good and because of His love for us. This reminded me once again, that this life is so short and we can't waste it on the temporary things of this world. We should live each day as if it were our last and bring glory to Him in every moment we are still here on this earth. As I was washing dishes that night (don't look so surprised, I actually do clean up sometimes), the Lord gave me this song and I'd like to share the lyrics with you.

                                              "Vapor in the Air"

                         This life is but a breath, a vapor in the air 

                                There's only a little time left

                                Before this world is laid to rest. 

                        

                                He has finished the work, for the wage of sin is death 

                                He completely paid our price 

                                Christ gives eternal life.

                               Soon the clouds will be rolled back

                               The Word of God will be the judge

                               From His mouth comes out a sword 

                               The King of Kings and LORD of LORDS 

                               Do you know what's in your heart?

                               Have you surrendered Christ your all? 

                               Because the time is passing fast

                               Only what's done for Christ will last.

                               Have you bowed your knee to Him?

                               Is He your only saving way?

                               Have you acknowledged your own sin?

                               Have you turned to worship Him?

                              For the time to bow is now, don't wait 'til it's too late

                              You only have one life to live 

                              The Lord is ready to forgive.
