“A Victorious Life”
“What is your life? It is even a vapour, which appeareth for a little time,
And then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). Amidst all the uncertainty about life, one thing is certain, and that is that life is short. An interesting Bible study is to make a survey of the metaphors the Bible uses about life. There are eighteen of them, and they all refer to the fact that life is short.
Job says, “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle”. And again, “My life is like the wind.” The psalmist compares our life to a fading flower or falling leaf. “As for man, his days are as grass: As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.” The writer of Chronicles records for us the words of David: “Our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding”. Psalm 90:9 says, “We spend our years as a tale that is told.”
Life is short. Someone has said that the wood of the cradle rubs against the marble of the tomb. There is no question about it, the days of our lives pass very swiftly.
That does not mean that life is unimportant. When the Bible acknowledges the brevity of life, it is not saying that all is futility. Life is indeed short but that is not a reason for despair. It is not a reason for despair or a season for hopelessness because the ultimate view of life given to us in the Bible is that life is a victory. Romans 5:17 says that it is God’s intention that “they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”
God wants us to reign in life! We are to live like kings. We are to be victorious. We are to see life as a victory, not a defeat. We are to be more than conquers thru Jesus who loves us so.
