“… we spend our years as a tale that is told.” Psalms 90:9 “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalms 90:12
Using human expression we would say, “Isn’t that the truth!” Most of us reading this can certainly agree, because we are experiencing the very truth of what is stated above. Younger people often feel that they have the world by the tail. All is well, and they will never get old and feeble. This amazing truth is here for us, I believe, that we might keep our eyes on heaven, and on eternal things! Perhaps one of the greatest challenges as we do our pilgrimage here in earth is to remember we are just that: Pilgrims. We are not home yet, so let us not get so enamored with the things down here that we forget our heavenly home. In our heads, we know the verses like, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness . . .” . We would nod in agreement. We know that we are pilgrims etc., but how easily we seem to misplace our priorities. So, may the Lord help us to be heavenly minded, while we make our journey down here. Truly, nothing down here can satisfy. Our real reason and purpose is to seek God, to live for Him and to be faithful to HIm. Let us resolve to be more faithful to our Lord and Savior in the days ahead.
