Today's Scripture *December 30, 2008*
Psalm 39: 5-6
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.”
Interlude
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
At best, each of us is but a breath.”
Interlude
We are merely moving shadows,
And all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth,
Not knowing who will spend it.
And all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth,
Not knowing who will spend it.
The brevity of life is a theme throughout the books of Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. Jesus also spoke about it (Luke 12:20 "But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?" )
Ironically, people spend so much time securing their lives on earth but take little or no thought about where they will spend eternity. David realized that amassing riches and busily accomplishing worldly tasks would make no difference in eternity. Few people understand that their only hope is in the Lord.
James 4: 14 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. ; Ecclesiastes 2:18 I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned.
Father of all creation, we praise You! Thank You for our lives! Thank You that this life on earth is not the end! Thank You that we can spend eternity with You; In Your care, In Your Presence! We love You and we worship You! Help us to focus on our eternal home! May we spend our time and energy on the things that will last. In Your Name, Amen..
God bless you!
