Our Passing Shadow

Lord, what is man, that You care for him, the son of man, that You think of him? Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shadow. - Psalm 144:3-4

Have you ever wondered how much longer you have, if the life you have remaining will be short? The truth is that life is short for all of us when compared to eternity.

If God has called you into His service (if you belong to Him, then you have been called), you should have immediately gained a sense of urgency about your mission. There are many people around the world who have never heard the name of Jesus and have never had the opportunity to trust Him. Some of these people live within easy driving (or even walking) distance of where you live!

We all, by our lives, cast a shadow that ever lengthens as the "day" nears its end. At the peak of its zenith, the shadow cast by a person's life begins to fade. Therefore, as the Lord moves us out of our comfortable existence into a deeper partnership with Him, may we all learn to fill our days and our shadows with His purposes.

No matter what you do, or how you do it, you leave a little footprint, and that's your legacy. - Jan Brewer
