“O LORD, help me understand my mortality and the brevity of life! Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!
The two key words in our verse for this morning are:
(1) “understand” and
(2) “realize.”
First of all, “O LORD, help me understand” both “My mortality” and “the brevity of [my] life.” Then LORD, “Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!”
O LORD, “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12 NIV). Lord, as I face this new day, I feel like I am at the two-minute warning. There is much that I want to do for the kingdom, yet there is little time left.
