Title: Standing before the Mirror?

-
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
James 1:22‭-‬24 KJV
Devotion: I was standing in front of a mirror and my second son who was 4 years then and had not seen a standing mirror rushed to the restroom behind to confirm if I was at same time in the restroom. He did not understand that it was my reflection behind he thought I had become two.
 A person standing before a mirror with badly made facial treatment must do something about it, if not he goes to town with his ugly face; so is a person who fails to act on his character after hearing or reading the word of God. The word teaches character but if having heard the teaching and you continue to remain in sin it's left for you. You'll be answerable one day and the word will stand against you.
  Dearly beloved, are you before the mirror, do something about yourself before it is too late. May God help us to become who he wants us to be- spotless, blameless, in Jesus name. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
