Guy challenged us yesterday to spend our dash well. (Meaning: as you look at a gravestone all you see is the date of birth and date of death with just a dash in between)
This psalm reminds us that life is short, we're like the grass, here today gone tomorrow. So what are we going to do with our lives, our dash. Are we going to spend it by obtaining stuff, making sure we fit in with the world around us. Or are we going to stand out.
In the parable of the sower, we all assume we're the good soil? Right?
But wouldn't it be closer to the truth that most of us are on thorny ground, choked by the cares and worries of this world. I know I can be like this.
But how do we escape the thorns? How do we get shot of the cares of this world that would choke the life out of us?
Well first of all, as we're reminded in this psalm. Our God is everlasting, He has no end and no beginning and a thousand years passes like a day to Him.
So cast your cares on Him, for His love never fails. It never has and it never will, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
I hope that as we lift our eyes to this everlasting King that the thorns of life will melt away, and we'll gain a heavenly perspective.
Lord, do it in me!
