Vapor

"With the Sunrise the frost turns a sparkling orange as the waking sun breaks the morning into yet another day. Frosty crystals dance with light in their brief and brilliant life as the sun's warming glow change them into a soft mist that gently rises from the earth. In one brief moment, creation breathes the first breath of the new day, granting yet another day to many, while some left yesterday. The song of morning again creation sings, and does not forget, His ancient melody that has been playing since time began. A whisper of wonder and of awe repeated each morning since that light glistened the first morning of creation".Water comes in many forms and all of them have a beauty of their own.The ocean waves crashing on the shore soothes the ears and the sound runs through the mind like a gentle wind. Mist rising from the earth in the morning brings serenity to the eyes and its fragrance calms the spirit with tranquillity. Beautifully fallen snow sparks the imagination as it clings to the trees and smoothes the landscape into gentle rolling hills. Gentle raindrops falling bring curtains that beacons sleep, each drop binging peace and relaxation to the busy world it falls on.

Water, regardless of its form, comes to continue life by giving of itself so life around it can live. Water brings life to all it touches and refreshment to the parched and weary. As water in its different forms fill brief moments of time, so do our lives.

"How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For you life is like the morning fog- it's here a little while, then it's gone" James 3:14 NLT As real and tangible the world seems to us, it is but a vapor. For each of us it is here today but one day will be gone. God promises to create a new heaven and a new earth for us that will remain forever. That life and earth to come is the life we long for, though this one has ineptly taken its place. While we are here on this earth, we are to fulfill the same role as the different forms of water. We are to bring life to all that our lives touches and refreshment to the parched and weary. We are to pour out our lives daily so those around us will be able to have life, in not only this world but also the new one to come. By using the brief moments that we have now to bring life and promise to those around us, we like the water will be beautiful in all our forms.

My Challenge to Us

Allow God to transform our lives into a gift that is as uniquely beautiful as the forms of water, bringing life to all that it touches. As we allow God use our life as water pouring out on this earth, do not hold on to the temporary that is just a vapor. Instead, hold on to the promise of the life that we will have in a new and perfect world to come. You are beautiful in all the forms that God makes your life, for through your sacrifice others can hear His ancient melody that is still playing since time began.
