James 4:14 "...You are a
vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes."
Our lives are governed by time. That's why we're surrounded by clocks and calendars that dictate our activities. As the minutes tick by, we wonder where the day went. When responsibilities and pressures mount, we complain, "I just don't have time to get it all done!" But the reality is that God has given us enough time to do exactly what He's planned for our lives.

Perhaps the bigger issue is whether we are using our time to
do our will or the Lord's. Each day is an opportunity to choose. Time
is a gift from God, and He has allotted each of us a measure in which to live
and accomplish His purposes.
We have only two options—to spend it temporally on our
own interests or invest it eternally. Since time can never be retrieved or
reversed, it's critical that we make the most of every opportunity the Lord
provides. Scripture compares earthly life to "a
vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes", but
eternal life never ends.
