In the book of James we read,
"Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” James 4:13,14
In Ecclesiastes we read,
"I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Ecclesiastes 1:14.
To read these two scriptures it would seem there is little hope. That is if this life is all there is. If this life is all there is it means there is no justice. Men like Hitler, Pol Pot and other vicious dictators got away with the evil they did. But this life is not all there is. We as individuals live on through eternity where there will be justice.
The writer of Ecclesiastes writing,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
It doesn’t matter who we are we will one day stand before God and give account for what we have done.
What will God say to you when you stand before him?
Please think about it.
