DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Charles Spurgeon, the renowned English preacher, described the brevity of human life in five simple words: “It is sown, grown, blown, mown, gone.” In a similar light, Moses, the man of God, reflects on the fleeting nature of life in contrast to God’s eternal existence. He employs various metaphors to illustrate the transience and mortality of man, emphasising that sin has brought judgment from God upon humanity, thus shortening our days on earth. He then prays for wisdom to make the most of this brief life.
This text reminds us not to squander our limited time on earth. Regardless of how long we may live, our time here is short compared to eternity. We need God’s guidance to spend our days wisely and productively. The psalmist’s plea for divine assistance in numbering our days resonates with the New Testament’s call to redeem the time. To redeem the time means to seize every opportunity and make the best use of our moments.
Those who are aware of the brevity of life will be prompted to repent swiftly, lest they perish in sin and face eternal damnation. Believers, too, should avoid living in secret sin, realising that what is hidden from earthly eyes is fully visible to God.
Rather than wasting our days on unproductive pursuits, we should invest them in righteous acts and soul-winning that yield eternal rewards. This psalm invites everyone to reflect soberly on life’s temporal nature, a message echoed in Fanny Crosby’s timeless hymn, “Be in Time.” In the lyrics, she writes: Life at best is very brief, Like the falling of a leaf, Like the binding of a sheaf, Be in time! Fleeting days are telling fast, That the die will soon be cast, And the fatal line be passed, Be in time!
Fairest flowers soon decay, Youth and beauty pass away; O you have not long to stay, Be in time! While God’s Spirit bids you come, Sinner, do not longer roam, Lest you seal your hopeless doom, Be in time!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If life is but a breath, let yours breathe in eternity.
