God Today Devotions

Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
James 4:14

We want to be masters of our destiny. But the truth is life is full of uncertainties. Making plans and setting a course for our life is good, but not if we exclude God from the planning process. We count on tomorrow, maybe sometimes too much. If we were to live each moment as if it were our last would we do it differently?  Would there be a difference in our priorities for that moment, would we spend our time and our money differently? Quite possibly all the things that absorb our time and thoughts would become insignificant. Truth is sometimes tomorrow never comes and just like a mist that is there one moment and gone the next. It is good for us to reflect on our actions and motives and be reminded of our dependence on God for every breath and every moment of every day. 

Prayer 

 Lord my every breath is in your hands. I have ideas for my life and plans that I hope are fulfilled but let me always remember that every moment is precious and to live that moment as if it were my last. Life is unpredictable but You are not. Let your love capture my every thought and with my life worship you. Amen.
