“Lord, let me know my end, and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in your sight. Surely everyone stands as a mere breath. Surely everyone goes about like a shadow. Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; they heap up, and do not know who will gather. (Psalm 39:4-6, NRSV)
Have you ever just wanted something to be over? Here David is writing a psalm of wisdom and forgiveness.
He is pondering life and his sin.
David is reflecting on how fleeting his life and all life is. We are nothing but a breath in the time of God, and we move around only as He gives us life.
Help me not to be a fleeting breath but help my life to make a difference God.
Use me to show your love in a world that needs to see you!
