DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

TOPIC: LIFE IS SHORT
READ: Psalm 90:10-17
MEMORISE: _So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom._ (Psalm 90:12).
EXPOSITION
Are you celebrating your birthday today, or when is yours? God has something serious for you to ponder on, whether you are a birthday celebrant today or whenever? We are daily getting closer to our graves.
Life is a puzzle, a total mystery! Nobody has been able to correctly predict his life span on the earth, except the Lord Jesus Christ! Men are roughly divided into two camps: those who believe in the afterlife, that is, a life after death, and those who do not. The camp that is in denial of life after is pre-occupied with the pursuit of “happiness and pleasure” which leads them to another pursuit–elongation of their stay here on earth.
Most, the great preacher, poet and philosopher, was inspired by years. This discovery was before Science discovered a life-expectancy index for the modern man: 70-80 years. This discovery was before Science discovered for everyman was to pray to God to enlighten us on how to go about our short pilgrimage here on earth.
Like King Solomon, the modern man is given to the full pursuit of “happiness and pleasure.” Solomon had 700 wives, and 300 concubines. Aside building the temple, he was also busy with other projects all over the land, to satisfy his fantasies, only to discover that his 70 years had virtually expired.
As someone who believes in heaven, not in idle religious fantasy but, in seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness *(Matt. 6:33,34; Col. 3:1ff),* you must daily remind yourself of the timeless prayer of Moses: *_So teach us to number our days._* Meditate on this, seriously, and comport yourself, appropriately. That would deliver you from the unnecessary pursuit of wealth and pleasure, so that heaven would be your home at last.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, teach me to number my days, that I may gain a heart of wisdom.
2. Lord, help me never to trade eternity in Your kingdom for the passing pleasures of life.
3. Oh Lord, help every Christian who is at the verge of going back into sin to rescind his/her decision and come back to You in total repentance.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: 2 Chronicles 24-25 & 1 Timothy 3
