This Fleeting Life

Tonight as I was walking my daughters dog for her, the thought came to me how fleeting this life really is. We see examples of this on the news and in the paper every day. Even the psalmist David knew this. In Psalms 89, he encouages us to remember exactly how short and meaningless this life really is. (Ps 89:47) Nothing in this life is worth anything except for what is done in service of the Lord. In fact, David tells us that he wants to spend his life in obedience to God and His commandments. (Ps 119:56). This is exactly what we should be concerning ourselves with! All the wealth that we gather, all the friends we make, all our sucesses in this life are worthless unless we make God first and foremost in our life. Tonight, take an inventory of your life. Have you put your efforts in the meaningless or have you been laying up treasures in the next life?
