Are you the Vapor of 2007?
Every week I attend church services at the First Church of Christ with my family. Our preacher, Larry Sprinkle, is an amazing man. He memorizes his sermons and always presents them well without notes or any aids. I don’t know how he does it.
The sermons are always filled with meaning and pertinent to our present-day lives. He ties in scripture verses to help us see how the Bible is relevant to our daily living. I often get tapes of his sermons to transcribe and read back over again.
Not long ago, he was talking about how our lives are insignificant without God. He referred to Psalm 90:10: “The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.”
“After a person dies, the world forgets about them,” he said. “Life goes on.”
He said we are like a vapor or fog. “Think about fog. It impedes our progress for a short time, then it moves on.”
Then he said, “We’ve all heard of the Flood of 1937, the Chicago fire, and the San Francisco Earthquake. But who has ever heard of the Fog of 1996? Or the Vapor of St. Louis?
“Nobody has heard of them because they are not significant.”
Then he added, “But God gives meaning to our lives and makes our lives valuable.”
I know I could not live a day without God. He is a part of everything I do and has been a part of my life for over 35 years. I’ve had a happy, satisfying life with Him and wouldn't trade it for anything.
How about you? Is He a part of your life? If He isn’t and you’d like Him to be or you have questions about this, let me know. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll find someone who does.
This is too important of a subject to not address. Don’t let your life become the Vapor of 2007.
Take care,
Kayleen
