His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord – Matthew 25:21

Friend, you were created and designed to be PRODUCTIVE. Life is more about PRODUCTIVITY and FRUITFULNESS, than about PRESERVATION or mere ACTIVITY. Life is more than a flurry of activities, anxieties, ‘busy-ness’ and uncontrolled consumption.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE – John 3:16

JESUS CHRIST gives MEANING to LIFE. In Christ, life is eternal; it transcends time – it is ever-lasting, lasting forever, never ending. God purposed and designed Man to be a Creature of ETERNITY passing through TIME. You are a Creature of Eternity passing through time!

…For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away – James 4: 14

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom – Psalm 90:12

The Bible testifies to the BREVITY of temporal life – life in TIME. Scriptures compare life on earth to many things, so that we may realize how BRIEF life is, how SHORT time is, and how important it is for us to number our days, properly prioritize our plans, and apply our hearts to wisdom and understanding.

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth – Luke 12:15 (KJV)

Remember the Question – What is your life? How do you value life? In what UNITS can you count, calculate, compute, or weigh your life?
What are your MEASURES of life?
