The Days Are Getting Shorter

There are days when I am tempted to comment, and I do, on the foolishness that is going on in the world. Then the Lord reminds me this is prophesy being fulfilled, there isn't anything I can do about it, except to live my life for the Lord, grow myself while others help me and I help them. Along with that comes God's mandate to bring the gospel to the unsaved.

Nothing can distract us from that mission given by Christ if our mind is continually being regenerated by the Word of God. We must spend more time reading about and talking about Him, than we do the things of the world to keep our perspective.

However, we do want to be able to answer the lies of the world with the Word of God. When we know what is going on, perhaps it comes up in the news feed, then we will be able to bring God's perspective that help brothers and sisters sense safety in the Lord no matter what is going on.

There are many brothers and sisters in the Lord who are suffering in one way or another, they need us and we need them to keep us focused on what really matters and the coming inheritance that we will be experiencing soon.

This life is so very temporal, the speed with which the days pass are a testimony to the shortness of life. I still feel 35 inside, but my body is now elderly. The memories of the past 65 years seem as near as yesterday.

James 4:14
"Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes."

Psalm 144:4
"Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow."

Psalm 90:12
"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom."

Proverbs 27:1
"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring."
