Bible Reading: James 4:13-14, Proverbs 27:1
Memory Verse: 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 4:14 (BSB)
A man is born today, tomorrow he is dead. A man lives in a mansion today, tomorrow he lives underground. A man drives a car today, tomorrow an ambulance drives him. A man reads Biology today, tomorrow a biography
is been read of him. A man eats whatever he wants today, tomorrow he becomes food for insects. A man is always early for work today, tomorrow he is termed late Mr./Mrs. A man is seen resting in his house today, tomorrow he is resting in a coffin. And they say “Rest In Peace”! A man eats all kinds of fruits in his house today, tomorrow he becomes manure to those trees. A man is known today as the richest man ever, tomorrow he doesn’t even know where or what will happen to his riches.
What is life after all?

3. Live for each second without hesitation — Elton John
4. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving — Albert Einstein

8. Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it — Charles Swindoll
9. Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late — Benjamin Franklin

11. The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why – Mark Twain.
12. Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor – Sholom Aleichem.
Life is a privilege. Life is a gift from God. Life is to be spent serving God and serving humanity. Life should be spent in the pursuance of a divine agenda. Life derives its true meaning from its divine purpose. The real meaning of life is encapsulated in the words of King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived after Jesus: Serve God and do His commandments – this is the whole duty of man (Eccl. 12:13).
Prophetic Decree: You will not regret your life at the end of time, in Jesus name.
