“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.
