LIFE IS BRIEF, ETERNITY IN JESUS NEVER ENDS!
LIFE IF BRIEF, ETERNITY IN JESUS NEVER ENDS!
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… But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. —Psalms 39:4-5 ,7
A handbreadth is the width of the human hand— about 4 inches. The span of our lives before the Lord are as nothing. This is truly amazing and puts into perspective how awesome God is and how utterly small we are.
Four inches of snow melts easily in a day under warm sun. Four inches of grass is cut down quickly. Four inches is not very much when compared to the measuring line of eternity and indeed it is as nothing before our Lord just as 100 years is as nothing before Him.
Oh, how our lives are fleeting. I was at a coffee shop yesterday and engaged a group of five young ladies sitting at a table together. In our conversation I mentioned how fleeting time is and that it did not seem too long ago that I was young as they were and now I will be shortly turning seventy. I left them all with the illusionary cards Curved Illusion – Living Waters and encouraged them to discuss what happens after death. Most people do not think about death or what is after death unless someone they know dies.
Whatever time I have left, I am not looking for anything else because my hope is in the Lord and I depend on Him. Only He has the Words of eternal life and only He makes sense of a world that would otherwise make no sense. So I thank You, Dear Father, for drawing me to Jesus. Now may I abide in Him by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. Yes, I depend on Who He is and all He has done, is doing and will do for me and for all who put their faith/trust/believe in Him— yes, in Him and not an organization, a denomination or the ideas of someone else. I depend on Jesus and Him alone for salvation and to live life now and forever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLDEt9KP2O0&list=RDGMEMMib4QpREwENw3_jAc0YgNwVMBLDEt9KP2O0&start_radio=1
