Patience in the Blink of an Eye.

This life is but the blink of an eye, a puff of smoke;  man's fleeting years are gone before he knows it! Only when looking back can one realize this.

Psalm 73:19, "In the blink of an eye, disaster!"

Proverbs 23:5, "Riches disappear in the blink of an eye..."

Jeremiah 4:20, "Disaster hard on the heels of disaster, the whole country in ruins! In one stroke my home is destroyed, the walls flattened in the blink of an eye!"

Have patience! Because there is another "blink of an eye" which will make the worst of this life, seem petty in the trials of a fallen world:

1 Corinthians 15:52, "In an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the final trumpet. The trumpet will blast, and the dead will be raised with bodies that won't decay, and we will be changed!" What trials and suffering in this life may be, it is nothing compared to the Glory of GOD's blessings on us in Eternity!

James 4:14, "Your life is like a puff of smoke which appears for a moment and then disappears." But, remember Eternity is forever. Where will you spend it? Christ said, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)
