Numbers 4, Luke 1: 57-80, Psalm 39
Psalm 39: 4 (ESV)
“O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my
days; let me know how fleeting I am!”
Verse 4 from Psalm 39 is an interesting way to pray to God.
David is asking God for wisdom to know how fleeting and short his life is in this
world. If we had the wisdom to know how frail and short our life really is, we
might pray for different things. It will force us to put a value on the things
in our life because of the frailty of our lives. I think David is saying to us
that if we only knew how short our life is, we would pray to have a better relationship
with God. If our life is that short, the only thing in our life that is real
and lasting is God and our relationship to him.
