Vapor

Live on Purpose Words on Bulletin Board Fulfilling LifeThis is a light substance that is in the air and is diffused by the air. It’s most often very temporary. Smoke is a type of vapor, but steam is a mostly a safe vapor. The thing with vapor is it’s gone pretty quickly. The only way that is stays is that something supplies its source. The Word often refers to life like a vapor. If all of my life were put on a continuum, the spot that holds my 50+ years would be rather miniscule. I don’t have a lot of time on this earth to prepare for my eternal home so I need to make it count. Check this out….

10 God has already planned what now exists.
    He has already decided what man is.
A man can’t argue with the One
    who is stronger than he is.
11 The more words people use,
    the less meaning there is.
    And that doesn’t help anyone.
12 Who knows what’s good for a man? He lives for only a few meaningless days. He passes through life like a shadow. Who can tell him what will happen on earth after he is gone? (Ecclesiastes 6:10-12 NIV)

 

I don’t necessarily need to be an “over achiever” with the life I have. I need to lay my life down and surrender who I think I am to who He wants me to become. I don’t need to be anything other than who He created me to be. I want the vapor of my life to be a sweet smelling incense to the Lord. I will say it again, I want to make my life count rather than count my days. I surrender all of me to Him.

Pressing On!
Dwayne
