The Daily Blueprint for 10/14/10
Lifespan
PSALM 89:47a & 48a
Oh, remember how short you have made man's lifespan. No man can live forever..


Today's verse is another reminder that this is not our home, not that some of us need any reminder - many of us may have some physical aliements - that remind us this is not our home! That our life here is short and our bodies are passing away even now! The good news is our home is yet to come - the bad news is we must contiune on here until God calls us home -which is not a bad thing at all - God has given us this life as a gift - this is a trial run for eternity - we are all going to leave this world one day - and it won't be long says the writer of psalms 89 - At one time people lived a lot longer - but pollution and other factors limit our lives - but there is something more imporant in this - God determines the length of our days! He knows when He is calling us home - often we seem to act like we have all the time in the world and that death is just for others and not us - but the truth is we all have to face death sooner then later - last year I lost my dad and it was tough - he lived a nice long life - leaving this world at age 75 - he filled those 75 years with a lot of things! He lived out his dash well - do you know about the dash? it's not the birthdate and day of departure that are important - it's the dash that is in between those two dates? what are you doing with your dash?

WORD TO THE WISE:
LIFE AS WE KNOW IT IS PASSING BY - BUT WHAT'S COMING IS FAR BETTER THEN WHATS BEHIND US!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST
DEATH HAS LOST IT'S STING!
BUILDING ON THE WORD for 10/14/10
