A Little While

The bible teaches us in (James 4:14) that our life is just like a vapor that appeareth for a little while, and then vanisheth away." If we are only here for a little while, why do we act as if it will be a long while? May God brand this phrase "a little while" on the inside of our eyelids that we may never forget the brevity of our life and the certainty of our standing before Him whose eyes are a flame of fire to give an account for it. If we truly lived in the light of eternity, i wonder how different, powerful, fruitful and enjoyable our day to day lives would be?
