If You Plan To Do It - Do It Now!

For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
James 4:14


Redwood trees last for 1,000 years. Most other things go relatively fast. A face lift lasts 6-10 years, a five dollar note one year, a painted white line on the road only four months.
"What about me?"
The average life span is between 75-80 years of age. That sounds pretty good if you're young, but tends to be sobering when you pass 50. The Bible says your life is like a vapour, and vapours aren't known for longevity; just a puff of smoke and they're gone!
So why are you still waiting?
You don't have forever, get at it!
You say you've always wanted to play the piano. Stop talking about it and start taking lessons!
Or that you've always dreamed of a trip to the Holy Land; call a travel agent. You say you hate your bathroom wallpaper; quit complaining - scrape it off and paint it the colour you like!
You say you feel better when you exercise; start jogging!
Or that you love the taste of home-grown tomatoes - grow some!
You say you're angry about the pot holes in your street; go to your town meeting!
You say you want to make a mark for God; talk to your pastor. And remember, you start at the bottom, not the top!
Think you're too old? Not a chance!
The older people in God's Word often made the biggest impact. So get out of neutral and get going. Put your life into God's hands and let Him show you what He can do with it!
