Life Is Short

Joyce Meyer – Apr 05, 2024

Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.

 Psalm 39:4-5 (NIV)

Even if we live to be 100 years old, those long years are still nothing compared to eternity. It is good to think about this occasionally, because we should not waste any of the time God has given us on earth. David asked God how long he would live, but he didn’t get an answer, and neither will we. There is a time appointed for each of us to leave this earth, and only God knows when it is.

We should live every day as though it is our last—make wise choices, walk in love, be obedient to God, and bear good fruit. You may have many more days left to live, but you might not, and it would be a shame to waste the last one you have.

One time I was angry with Dave and wasn’t talking to him, and he said, “Wouldn’t it be a shame if this was your last day on earth and you spent it like this?” He got my attention and made me think. Don’t waste one more day being angry, jealous, or disobedient, or feeling anything else that steals time from you and does no good at all. Make your time count so you don’t end up regretting wasted years.

Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for the reminder that life is short. I ask You to help me live with purpose, love, obedience and not to waste one day of my life, amen
