Psalm 139:13 For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Emily, in the play _Our Town_, muses at one point, “Does anyone ever realize life while they live it….every, every minute?” The answer, of course, is no. We go through life like we’ve got all the time in the world. But yesterday, I was reminded once again, that life is brief, that tomorrow is not promised, that we have to make this moment count because this moment is the only one we have.
Psalm 139:15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place….
But the number of our days is not a secret to our Creator. He knows the scope and shape of our lives before we take our first breath. And honoring Him with our lives is not about metaphorically bubble-wrapping ourselves to keep us from harm. It is about living with intentionality. It is about understanding that the time we spend today is time we can never get back, so we must spend it wisely.
Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for the reminder that life is brief and precious. Help me to be very intentional with my time, talent, and treasure. Help me to seek to glorify You and comfort Your people always. Help me to recognize the blessings all around me, to love boldly, faithfully, with no regrets. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Have a blessed day.
