| God has mercifully divided our time here on earth into days, “because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning.” And every saved person can confidently say that “surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” Whether our days on earth be few or many, we are exhorted to be “redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” If, like David, we can say, “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple,” then we shall experience “days of heaven upon the earth,” “and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.” We can confidently pray, “Give us day by day our daily bread.” Truly, “thou knowest not what a day may bring forth,” but “the Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.” “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom,” for “ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Let us then “show forth His salvation from day to day.” |
