Psalm 90:1-12 -- So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. --Psalm 90:12-
WE live in a society that's overrun with warning labels. From disclaimers on pills, to "use-by" dates on soup cans, to danger signs on chain saws--warning labels draw our attention to impending hazards. Recently I received a box with a precious gift inside. The sender had attached a big red sticker to the package that said, FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE. When I think about life and its fragility, I wonder if we shouldn't all wear one of those red stickers.
It's not a good idea to cruise through life thinking that we are invincible--only to discover that we are far more fragile than we thought. It takes only a call from the doctor telling us that we have a life-threatening disease, or the swerve of a careless driver in front of us to remind us that life is extremely uncertain. There are no guarantees! None of us can be certain of another breath. So the psalmist has an important piece of advice...a warning label of sorts: "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12). (Most probably written by Moses)~
Let's choose to live as though this were our last moment on earth by loving more deeply, forgiving more readily, giving more generously, and speaking more kindly.
-That's how to handle life with care.
To run the race of life in Christ, This must become our daily goal; Confess your sins, trust God for strength, Use discipline and self-control. --- Yesterday is gone; tomorow is uncertain; today is here. Use it wisely! --ODB/JS
-IN THE HANDS OF GOD!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]

Quote
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5
