READ: James 4:13-17

You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. —James 4:14

On a crisp October morning, our local newspaper featured a stunning photo of sun-drenched aspen trees whose leaves had turned autumn gold. The caption read: FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY. The irresistible invitation to take a drive through the mountains to savor the brilliant colors conveyed the urgency of doing it quickly. Autumn leaves that are golden today are often gone tomorrow.

Our opportunities to obey God’s promptings are also fleeting. James warned against an arrogance that assumes endless days will be available to carry out our good intentions. “You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. . . . Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (4:14,17).

Is there an act of kindness or encouragement that God has urged you to do for someone in His name? How long has it been since that first prompting? With so many demands on our time, the urgent tasks demand our attention while the important things can be postponed. But a time will come when even the important can no longer be done.

When we follow God’s urging with our action now, today will be golden.

If God is prompting you today
To help someone who has a need,
Don’t hesitate, the time is short;
Tomorrow is not guaranteed. —Sper

Doing what’s right today means no regrets tomorrow.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 10–12; Proverbs 1:20-33

My first cat (first one I remember) was an orange tabby cat named King of the Jungle, who could've been a stand-in for Morris the Cat of Nine Lives fame.

In fact, many in my neighborhood claim that he was.
King was the only cat we had that we would let out at night. He'd roam around and he'd come back every morning. The other cats we've had only we out in the backyard and only during daylight hours. (And the houses were attached on both sides.)

Anyway, King disappeared for about a week or so one time. We thought he was lost, or something had happened to him. And then one morning, there he was at the front door, banging his head against the diamond-shaped window as he usually did.

Some months later, Shamus with Burt Reynolds comes the theaters. People on my block will tell you. That wasn't Morris. That was King of the Jungle. (They did filming in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, not to far from where I lived at the time.)

Whoa!!! We just had one of these in our parting lot!
By the time someone showed up with a phone that could take pictures, he was down the street.

When I was a kid, we trained our collie to bring in the newspaper. He did an excellent job but he also went around and collected the neighbors’ papers and brought them to our house.
