"Short and Sweet"

"Behold, Thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah." (Psalms 39:5) Surely God has numbered our days, and He has measured out every moment that we have in this life; if we could only see the scale that shows the results of our actions, we would be amazed how much time we spend on ourselves. If we would just spend half our lives on others, what spectacular world this would be. If you think about how much time we spend on our own cares and concerns, verses that which we give to others, it really hardly compares; for myself, I have an obligation to care for my wife, and even then, I still somehow find the time to care for myself. When we take the time to consider how short this life really is, it truly is like counting with our fingers; there is no need to break out a calculator, because by the time you know it, it's too late to count the days; days become weeks, weeks become months, months become years, and years become decades; so really, we are only going to be counting decades when it's all said and done; so how many fingers do you have? Compared to God, these few decades are nothing at all; just a blink of an eye in God's perspective; yet He cares for our life here anyway, as He takes time to guide us, save us, and strengthen us in His love. Oh, how He loves us... "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David." (Isaiah 55:1-3)
