What Number is This Day?
It's September 1st. My 38th birthday. Day #13,879 for my life. Appropriately, I'm looking at Psalm 90... Psalm 90:9–12 (ESV) For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10 The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. 11 Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? 12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Our biggest obstacle to wisdom is one simple word - TOMORROW. Tomorrow hovers in our thoughts like a get-out-of-jail-free card. But assuming we have tomorrow just may be the dumbest thing we can believe. Who really knows? We are like grass. We are like vapors. I could have sworn I live longer than 13,879 days! I mean, what is that? It's a blip! But that's the point of Psalm 90. We are more finite than we think! Only one Being is absolutel...
