Numbering Our Days.......

For the past couple of days the scriptures that keep popping up when I read are those in Psalms that speak of numbering our days. Psalms, Ch.90, Psalm, Ch.39 vs.4. They speak of knowing our end and measuring our days with an understanding of how frail we are.

I then turn to the New Testament in Matthew Ch. 24, which gives the signs of the end. All of these scriptures are reminders to reflect on our lives and make sure we are living each moment with a scrutiny of it being our last. What if it was our last for whatever reason, or that of our loved ones? We have only to look at the recent news in Oklahoma as a sobering example of just how fleeting life can be.

Just as we assess our daily aspirations and goals, I pray that we are also reminded to ask,"Are we living like we are suppose to today?" Common questions are, what if Jesus was here with us, what if we would never see that person again, what if we knew someone was watching, what if that thought or word was broadcast across the media for all the world to see, what if ?

Is our conscience clear, are we living like it is our last, would we have regrets, would we do things differently, are we making the most of everyday, would Jesus say well done good and faithful servant? Piercing questions that might cause us to cringe, yet if we come to the "light" and pray for him to help us to number our days, help us to know our end and how frail that we are, I dare say we would all make some changes in our decisions right now.

May God speak to our hearts as he continually guides and directs our footsteps. The chorus to a song that is on my heart is "Never once did he make us walk alone. He is faithful. Listen and be encouraged today. Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2CpU39tM0c
