Have you ever had that feeling of “invincibility”? You flex your muscles, Take in a big breath, Feel the blood coursing through your veins and you think to yourself “why I almost feel like could run through a brick wall and not even hurt myself”. You’ve probably had this feeling when you where young and strong. I had that feeling today and then a thought struck me “We humans are so frail and weak” and realized that I could die any moment and nothing that I could do would save myself. I could be in a car crash, trip on the sidewalk and bash my head in or catch a deadly virus and die. We always need to keep in mind that the only reason we are still breathing is that God is graceful enough to let us wicked, sinful beings live and that He could take our life away any moment and snuff it out like a candle.
We have a very short life to live and lots to do. Jesus in Mark 16:15 says “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” (ESV). We have much to do and we better do all we can with the life God has given us and realize that God can take it away in a moment. So if you ever get that feeling of “invincibility” remember that God can take your life at any moment.
