A Fleeting Life


4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure. Psalm 39:4-5

If woke up every morning for a month and asked this question, how would it change the way we live?

  • Would we waste time or find more productive uses of it?
  • Would we ignore that phone call from a friend because we just didn’t want to talk?
  • Would we get angry at the annoyances of our life?

I think we know the answers to those questions (and countless others that could be asked). So, here’s the challenge for the month of July: ask the Lord to show you your life’s end and the number of your days. Ask that He would reveal himself throughout the day to you with the answers to those questions.
