Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Psalm 90:10
As I was out doing a morning fitness run I started pondering life in general. For some reason there are many who don’t live a standard four score and ten years as mentioned in scripture and live much longer or die very young. The point being you are going to die you just don’t know when.
As you wait to die and basically that is what is going on, what are you doing with the allotted time God has given to you? Is it spent just on worldly personal pursuits and of course your job and family but are you getting your hands dirty for the kingdom and reaching out and impacting another life in some way?
The moment you breathe your first breath out of your mother’s womb you begin to die. It is not something to dread at all but you need to be grateful for each and every day the Lord gives you and not squander them on selfish pursuits but are you pursuing God as well and doing all you can to bring those you encounter closer to Him or dragging them further away? Something to think about.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus I love life. I love living in a free country when many are under communism, dictatorship, Marxism, socialism and tyranny. I love being able to worship freely. Help me to remember to use the gifts you have blessed me with to impact those around me and look forward to the day I hear “well done good and faithful servant.”In Jesus’ name. Amen.
