It can seem discouraging to recall that from the moment we’re born we are approaching the grave! We can brood on this or live making the most of our time. The pandemic reminded me that worry couldn’t help me since the psalmist says that my life on earth is set by God (Psa. 139:16). Worry can’t add one hour to my mortal vacation (Matt. 6:27). So, I just got on with life. My wife caught Covid, which turned into the long variety. It has had a big impact on her, and our life choices, yet it hasn’t interrupted our service of God.
