Life is the most precious commodity we have.

​

Jesus said, What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 

Mark 8:36-37

 

But the reason we spend our days and hours so cheaply is that we imagine there is a limitless supply of life.

​

The Bible constantly reminds us that life is short, and therefore we ought to place a high premium on each day.

 

Scripture uses about 18 metaphors to describe life, all emphasizing its brevity: grass that withers, flowers that fade, a tale quickly told, a ship passing in the night, a weaver’s shuttle, a shadow that declines, a vapor that vanishes.

​

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  

Ephesians 5:15-16
