… because you are. “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). “Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity…” (Eph. 5:15-16a).

Over the desk of my study hangs a large, framed quote by Charles Spurgeon, that my wife Ruthie gave to me. Daily it reminds me of how precious a commodity time is, and that the only life worth living is that which is lived out one hundred percent for Jesus Christ. Here’s the quote:

“As long as there is breath in our bodies let us serve Christ; as long as we can think, as long as we can speak, as long as we can work, let us serve Him. Let us even serve Him with our last gasp. And if it be possible, let us try to set some work going that will glorify Him when we are dead and gone. Let us scatter some seed that may spring up when we are sleeping beneath the hillock in the cemetery.”

Amen. “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Ps. 90:12).
