Tomorrow may never come

James 4:14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

The past 4 weeks, I know of 2 individuals who have been hospitalised and I've made more trips to NUH than I have to Orchard road. But each trip to the hospital reveals the fragile nature of our life as the hospital is a place of birth as well as death.

The individuals I visit are healthy until something crops up unexpectedly and they get warded. As I witnessed one go from strong to weak, I'm reminded that we aren’t here just to pass time until we die. Worse if we waste all the time given to us thinking that we can always redeem it some other day. That day may never come.

We are here to enjoy God, fulfill His purpose, and have a significant impact.
