A Weekly Devotional – Life – Personal Meditation

A Weekly Devotional – Life  – Personal Meditation

Comment: I am beyond three quarters of a century in age, I remember when I was just ‘two bits’, most people fifty years and younger do not know what ‘two bits’ is. Two bits is 25, four is 50, six is 75 and eight is 100. I have taken a term which is applied to money and used it as a symbol of time, only to show that what was a common term in days gone by, can be but a vapor in the mind of the elderly today. And of course, because I am elderly I can use this version of ‘bits’ as an illustration for anything I wish since life is less than an eight-bit VAPOR. 

If you wish to think about life, you can seek to agree with the evolutionist, that the earth is billions of years old. Yet these folks do not live longer than eight bits and what is left in the mind after 100, but a vapor! (see Psalm 90:10) Or, you could agree with God who is eternal, Who is, Who was and Who will always be. God has placed eternity in every heart of man, it is called the soul, it is the image of God, thus we all look for eternity. However, as Ecclesiastes 3:11 reveals, eternity is past finding out and so is the longevity of time, which again, is but a vapor. Also, in the book of Isaiah, chapter 64 verse 10 says that it is God who gives counsel of time and eternity because He knows the very beginning of time as well as He knows the very end.

Devotional: Meditate on these verses today and allow the Living Word of God to bless you and keep you.

Psalm 39:5 – Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah 

Psalm 39:11 – When with rebukes You correct man for iniquity, You make his beauty melt away like a moth; Surely every man is vapor. Selah

Psalm 62:9 – Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapor.

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.
