"Behold, Thou hast made my days an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee" (Psalm 39:5). "These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must SHORTLY be done" (Revelation 22:6).
The
Lord has accounted the years of our age
As
nothing from birth until when a man dies.
How
short is our show on life's transient stage!
It's
surely in vain that we think otherwise!
How
fleeting is time as eternity nears,
Though we
may believe that our days have been long!
But
days become weeks, and weeks become years,
And
soon we conclude our perspective was wrong.
The
days of my lifetime shall shortly conclude;
Then
what shall be shown for their toil and strife?
Let
this be the one thing my heart has pursued:
To
live for my Savior who ransomed my life!
The
plan of the ages shall shortly be done,
And
soon we shall look on our Lord face to face.
It
only makes sense that Priority One
Should
be to surrender to God by His grace.
Lord, thank You for showing the shortness of time,
So
we may assess things from Your point of view,
Discerning
the value of what is sublime,
Like
souls we may win as we bring them to You.
