Scripture: Psalm 90: 4-5
4 For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. 5 You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
Scripture Commentary:
These verses are a perfect description of our life. Moses reminds us that a thousand years are like a day to God. Our time is limited. At the beginning of our lives we need protection and guidance. As we mature, we grow strong both physically and mentally. We feel we have all the time in the world, but we do not.
In contrast, God is not limited by time or space. God gives each of us an allotment of time. The question is what are each of us doing with that allotment? Are we living just for ourselves or are we living for God?
Our life on earth is limited; in God’s kingdom we will have no limit. Realizing that life is short should help us use the little time we have wisely. Ask Jesus to direct you in the way He wants you to go.
John 14:14 says, “Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!” Go ahead – ask before your allotted time runs out.
