perspective

from Psalm 102:23-28

*

"In the course of my life he broke my strength; he cut short my days."

*

I came upon that last night and it jumped out at me....... that is me! Reading on...

*

"So I said: 'Do not take me away, O my God, in the midst of my days;"

*

And I have prayed that, and similar things, many times. But what happens next, is that in this prayer as he shifts his focus away from himself toward God, God gives him perspective, and maybe that perspective is his answer....

*

"...your years go on through all generations. In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end."

*

And I especially love the last verse. The hardest part of going through this is the concern for my wife and girls; and here God answers that as well....

*

"The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you."

*

Thankyou Lord
