“Lord, Teach Us The Brevity Of Life”
Psalm 90:12 NLT
Teach us to realize
the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
I think we would all completely agree that we want to grow
in wisdom each and every day. I think it
would be safe to say that we also agree that we should realize more that our
time here on earth is not guaranteed from day to day. However, the way we live our lives often
shows that we just expect each day to come like it always does.
As this new year begins, I think about this passage and how
I need for God to make me realize the precious moments of life and to
understand that each day is a gift and that I’m not promised tomorrow. I need to make the most of each day and not
waste the moments God gives me.
Lord, teach me to realize
the importance of the moments with my spouse.
Lord, teach me to
realize the importance of the times I have with my kids.
Lord, teach me to
realize the importance of the opportunities I have with my co-workers.
Lord, teach me to
realize the importance of the moments with my friends.
Lord, teach me to
realize the importance of unexpected moments of witnessing to people I don’t
know.
Lord, teach me to
realize that life is not about me and I need to focus on blessing others.
Lord, teach me to
realize that each day is a gift from you and I need to do my best to make the
most of the time I have.
As this new year continues, I encourage all of us to make
the most of the opportunities each day that God gives us. It is easy to get busy with our schedules and
forget about the fact that we are not promised tomorrow. God has given us today and He wants us to
grow in wisdom as we learn to take advantage of the moments He gives us to
bless others.
I know that I definitely need to realize the brevity of life! I get so focused on my own agenda often and
forget that I need to stop and make the most of the moments God gives me with
other people.
Lord, teach us the
brevity of life.
