The More I Seek You - Kari Jobe

Life Happens Fast

4 "LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. 5 My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath." Interlude 6 We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth for someone else to spend. 7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. 8 Rescue me from my rebellion, for even fools mock me when I rebel. 9 I am silent before you; I won't say a word. For my punishment is from you. 10 Please, don't punish me anymore! I am exhausted by the blows from your hand. 11 When you discipline people for their sins, their lives can be crushed like the life of a moth. Human existence is as frail as breath. Interlude 12 Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cries for help! Don't ignore my tears. For I am your guest -- a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me. 13 Spare me so I can smile again before I am gone and exist no more. Psalms 39:4-13 Time is passing quickly! Wow. It has been a busy 6 months for us. We have become full time youth pastors and now have a 3 month old baby. God has quickly shown us that things are not in our time or our will. He has written the page to each day of our lives. If we would just stop our planning and figuring then our lives might not be so complicated. We need to stop and just trust God for his plan. When we follow him it causes us less heartache and strife. Following God and his plan is a faith action. When we allow him to work in our daily lives our faith increases and our plans decrease. Time on earth is brief as it says in Psalms 39. Our days are numbered so we should slow down and count our blessings each day. Be thankful for the time you have and use the time for spreading the love of Jesus.
