“Realizing the Brevity of Life”
by Dona Hake
Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
Psalms 90:12 NLT
As I meditate upon this scripture my heart is drawn to wanting more and more of God’s wisdom for I need it to live victoriously in this life. Oh that we would come to deeper understanding of the brevity of this life. May we seek to know and care about what really matters, and set our priorities in line with His will.
Lord, today we ponder how this life is as a vapor, and time passes so quickly. We desire to make the most of our time so we ask you to help us to see the time and energy wasters that are in our life that we may gain better insight into Your wisdom and understanding. Cause us to be reminded that reverencing You is the beginning of all wisdom and good understanding. In Jesus Name, amen.
The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the
beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute
essential, the alphabet) of wisdom; A
good understanding and a teachable heart
are possessed by all those who do the
will of the L ord; His praise endures forever.
Psalm 111:10
