Psalm 90:12 (NLT)
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
Father when I was young I remember time seemed to move
so slowly. Will the week-end ever get here? This has sure been a long day. It seems like a
year but it’s only been a month. I was so impatient for time to pass. And now
time has passed and I wonder where has all the time gone? Twenty Four Hours as
a measure of time has not changed, but my perception of it has. The Psalmist
was wise to pray: “LORD, remind me how
brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how
fleeting my life is.” Psalm 39:4 (NLT)
Now I know how brief life is
and how true the words of James are: “How
do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning
fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” James 4:14 (NLT)
So Father, even now, in the
reality of the golden years may I treasure each day for what it is, a time and
opportunity to live wisely and take advantage of every opportunity to honor you
and be a help and blessing to all I may encounter.
Thank you Father for the gift of life, help me to life it
wisely.
Amen
