 James 4:14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 

You read it in the news, a young, healthy person suddenly dies, right in the prime of life. Maybe you know someone this has happened to. In those moments, you question your own life; am I living right, am I truly happy, what will I do tomorrow. The list of thoughts is endless, but they always tend to lean towards the future. 

Today's verse reminds us we aren't here for a long period of time, and life is but a vapor that vanishes at the most unexpected time. 

It's ok to think about tomorrow, but don't miss life in the moment. You never know, this might be your last day in this life and never fulfill tomorrow's dreams. 

As a child of God, knowing the purpose for your existence, will help guide your daily activities and rituals. You might be called to help others, do it today, your testimony might be just what your coworker needed to hear to chose Jesus Christ, your ability to plan a random picnic might be what your family needs to reunite them from life's busy schedules.

There are so many things that require your attention, but your memory won't be house cleaning, mowing yards, or doing mundane things, it's living life today, using the gifts and talents God has given you to make this day complete.
