Reflection

Psalm 39:3 …while I was musing the fire burned…
In this modern, fast-paced era, we must, it seems, hurry about to keep up. From cell phones and emails, to the grind of daily chores we must move, without time to rest. Yet, the Psalmist describes to us a time of waiting, thinking for a period. The rest of the verse and the next: then spake I with my tongue, LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Do we have time to reflect on our life, eternity and our frailty? Sure, we have hobbies and interests and families, but what about God? Do we pray, allowing the LORD to show us our end or the measure of our days?
