The Psalmist speaks from an honest and broken heart – addressing the brevity of life. It is a painful and sobering thought. Yet this prayer is to know how limited our time is. It is a cry for truth, even though it isn’t something we like to think about or confront. As we listen today, will this cause us to live with purpose, knowing every moment is a divine appointment IF we choose to live in God’s guidance? Might we truly guard our hearts and live in the light of God’s directives rather than the shadows of fear and loss? Even in the darkness, God is with us. It is light to Him, therefore, it is also light to us. Let it be so.
