Life is a Temporary Assignment

Day XCI

Our guide for today are from the words of God from the bible and from the book of Purpose Driven Life by  Rick Warren chapter/day 6.

He started it with:

LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. Psalm 39:4


I am here on earth for just a little while. Psalm 119:19

It is true that in the bible our life is a temporary assignment as Rick Warren also put it. He also mentioned that there are numerous stories in the bible that would display the reality that our life on earth is a small portion of living. We should accept that fact and understand AND believe that there is life after death. We should look forward to have that eternal life after our stay here on earth. We should believe and accept that Jesus is the only way to eternity. May we always remind ourselves that this life we have now will only last for a little while - we have to consider living a life as if it is our last. As one clip shows the dash in our tombstone that shows our birthdate (dash) deathdate. And that dash represents how we live our lives here on earth. And only the people who knows us can tell how we spend that dash. So come to think of it. When our eulogy is read/rehearse what would people say about your dash?
