Proverbs 9 and some Psalms
One section out of Psalm 39 really resonated inside me this morning:
4 "Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath."
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath."
I hear older people say that life goes by fast, but here it is in Scripture. The question is, what am I going to do with this brief life? Am I going to waste it on selfish pursuits, or am I going to seek God and ask Him to do something incredible in my life? Well, the latter sounds much more thrilling.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me not get stuck in a rut and focused on myself. Lord, please help me keep my eyes fixed on you and your eternal nature, in which case I realize how brief my time is here on earth. Jesus, I want you to be LORD of my life, and I want to keep in step with the Spirit. God, I pray that you will do something incredible in my life - that you will use me in a mighty way to glorify your name. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Redeemer. Amen.
