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.
Selah
Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro:
He bustles about, but only in vain;
he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
“But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.
Save me from all my transgressions;
do not make me the scorn of fools.
You rebuke and discipline men for their sin;
you consume their wealth like a moth—
each man is but a breath.
Selah
“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
listen to my cry for help;
be not deaf to my weeping.
For I dwell with you as an alien,
a stranger, as all my fathers were.
(Psalm 39:5-8, 11, 12 NIV84)
Lord, your discipline is painful but good. I pray I would learn the lesson you have for me. Humble me to know I am not in control and your ways are not my ways. Remind me of your love and that you are good. Lord you are our only hope, my only hope in my life, in my ministry and forever more. Please Lord hear my cry for your kingdom to come here at CU and in my heart.
Amen
