May 28
“Lord, make me to know my end
and
what is the measure of my days,
that
I may know how frail I am.
Indeed,
you have made my days as handbreadths,
and
my age is as nothing before you.
Certainly
every man at his best state is but vapor.”
Psalm
39:4-5
Thousands of years have gone before us. We are given
maybe 70, maybe 80 – more or less. Compared to what’s gone before
and all the ages to come, they are very short. On a yardstick, life
here is 1/16th of an inch. The rest is in the world to come.
What
could be more important then, than using this short life as an
investment for the future one? The most important thing a person can
do is seek to find out what God’s plan is for his/her life, and
then to embrace it.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures
on earth
where moth and rust
destroy
and where thieves break in
and steal,
but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven,
where neither
moth nor rust destroys
and where
thieves do not break in and steal.
For
where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew
6:19-21
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure,
but
of succeeding at something that doesn’t really matter.”
Dwight
L. Moody
Pray with me:
Father,
what could be more important than using my brief time here as an
investment for eternity? I surrender myself and my life to you that
you may accomplish in and through me all your will for my life. I
pray for guidance, I ask for wisdom, and I pray Father, show me what
the priorities should be in my life. Have YOUR way in my life from
now on, and forever. I know that only in heaven will we realize the
entirety of their worth.
