How Will You Spend Your Remianing Days?
“Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.” (Psalm 90:10 CSB)
This sobering thought is attributed to “A Prayer of Moses, the Man of God.” Certainly, Moses, more than most, knew what it was like to have a personal relationship with God. He knew both God's loving kindness and wrath. He saw both in his time working for God among the children of Israel. He also spent his life watching a generation pass from this life. He prayed, “Who considers your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you?” (90:11) The generation he watched die did not consider God’s anger and did not fear and obey Him. They had not spent their years wisely, and they paid for it in the desert.
Paul said, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” (Eph. 5:15-16) Moses prayed, “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
How will you spend your remaining days? Why not “present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship?”
