Life Is Short, Let God Prevail

Yesterday the Lord's living prophet, Russell M. Nelson, celebrated his 100th birthday.  I just saw this quote from him on his Instagram this morning.

"The length of your life is not as important as the kind of life that you live. For each of us, even for a 100-year-old man, life passes quickly. My prayer is that you will let God prevail in your life. Make covenants with Him. Stay on the covenant path. Prepare to return to live with Him again."  – President Russell M. Nelson

It's so true!  Some people may live well into their nineties and still not be prepared to meet God.  Because of their life choices.  Because they did not let God prevail in their lives.  While others may die young but having made and kept covenants with God, are well prepared to meet Him.

Life is short.  It passes in the blink of an eye.  Don't squander your precious gift of life while here in mortality.  Don't waste time on frivolous things.  Focus on the things of eternity.  Think celestial.  Spend your time making and keeping sacred covenants with God.  Stay on the covenant path.  If you stray, get back on the covenant path as soon as possible.  Let God prevail in your life.  If you do these things, you will be prepared to meet God whenever He decides to call you home.  Regardless of how old you are.

That's my two cents.
