During my recent holiday, I saw two images ,one in a magazine and the other in a cathedral.The first one was a photo in a magazine of a famous
movie star,she was titled a sex goddess,but the photo showed her after she had died,it was not very nice,she no longer manifested a beauty,it had gone.
The other image was in the cathedral,two stone carvings ,one showed a dead knight laid out in all his armour,a person of power,the other placed
beneath,showed a skeleton like figure.Both these images reminded me how soon our natural beauty and power vanishes.The beauty and power that men
place great emphases on soon fades,all is very temporary.Now I do not want to depress you but we all need reminded that we all moving very quickly to
an expected end.And yet it is not an end,for there is an eternal existence awaiting us all,when we will give an account of our mortal lives.If we know Christ as Saviour all our service will be judged, that which has not honoured God will be burned up,we will be rewarded for what may be left.[ 1 Corinthians 3 v11ff]. For those who are not Christians their works will have no bearing on that day[Ephesians 2 v 8-9],only faith in Christ and his finished work will saved,nothing else will be taken into account.
A prayer.
Dear God teach to number our days that we apply our hearts unto wisdom,in Jesus name Amen..
