Psalms 39:4-5
"Show me, O Lord, my life's end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting is my life.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Each man's life is but a breath. "

there are probably more than just psalm 39 and psalm 90 which remind us to live with the end in mind. i came across psalm 39 today while flipping through the first few pages of psalms and it just made me think about how currently meaningless physical life on earth can be, we are just but a vapour in the wind. yet the almighty God still gives us the time of day, hearing us at the whim of when we feel like talking to Him, otherwise we just leave him alone. its just like a math function.
i think it is important to remember that people like david was close to God because they relied on God to be used for His purpose. even people like david still had to ask God to help them when they struggled with being blind. even david, in all of his glory as a king, accredited it to God and continued to hope in the Lord.
so, how do we want to live our lives?
a shout of praise.
