The scriptures suggest to us that as we live life, we should consider also the brevity and uncertainty of the life we live. To do so, we must pray for divine instruction, that the Lord would teach us by his Spirit, to number our days to good purpose. That we might then incline our hearts unto true wisdom, that is, to the practice of serious godliness. If we really value the lives that we have been entrusted with Beloved, we should mind it accordingly with all diligence, as those that have no time to waste on those things which have no value. Perhaps Solomon said it best when he declares, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man”.
