Lord,
Remind Me How Brief My Time On Earth Will Be.
Remind
Me That My Days Are Numbered –
How
Fleeting My Life Is.
Scripture
Psalm
39
4 “Lord,
remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.
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.”
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath.”
Observation
2020
is right around the corner – not one of us know whether we will
make it to see 2021. The truth is that there is no guarantee that we
will even make it to see the end 2019. Knowing how short life is
should cause us to live our lives differently.
I
don't care to make New Year's resolutions because we don't keep them,
at least for me, they only last a few weeks.
But
making a fresh new commitment to the Lord as we enter 2020 now that
makes very good sense!
What
commitment or commitments do you need to make? Starting back to
church … getting involved in a small group … serving in some way
at church and maybe in your community ... taking better care of your
body … giving more to further the Kingdom of God? Whatever God puts
on our hearts, lets do it. Life is too short to put it off!
Application
Over
the next few days before January 1, 2020 I will think about what
commitments the Lord would want me to make to Him so I can start this
New Year out right.
How
about you? What needs to change?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, show me what needs to change in my life. Then help me make
the commitment to You to make the changes. I know that life is short.
Nobody needs to tell me. I know that I am in the fourth quarter of
this game called life and the final two minute warning has sounded.
Help me, Lord, to finish well. Show me what commitments I need to
make to You and then help me keep those commitments.
I
pray for any person reading this blog. Encourage them, Lord. Help
them to make positive changes in his or her life. Help them to make
life changing commitments to You in this coming new year. Use them
for Your glory.
