But for me, today is not so much about the spooky holiday, but more of a reminder that tomorrow is November. Can you believe it?? Beginning today, there are exactly 5 weeks before exams begin, and only 4 weeks worth of classes left. I realize that time flies, yadda yadda, but where did this semester go? Friday, I will register for my final semester of classes at Mississippi State. AAHH!
As quickly as time seems to pass, God reminds us that he has every day in his hands. The bible warns us not to invest so much energy into the future, but to focus on today. I know that this can be very difficult in a world where goals and plans are so important. We are always thinking about what's next (I know I am). And while it is good to make plans, we can't forget that today might be all we have. Today, Halloween of 2011, might be it for you, me, or all of us.
So put a pause on all of your planning. Start doing. Don't waste today.
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. Psalm 144:4
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. Psalm 39:5
You should know better than to say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to the city. We will do business there for a year and make a lot of money!" What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears. You should say, "If the Lord lets us live, we will do these things." James 4:13-15
So be careful to live your life wisely, not foolishly. Take advantage of every opportunity because these are evil times. Ephesians 5: 15-16
