Life is a Privilege

Greetings to all. As we end the week, let us embrace our life, health, and strength.

Living is a privilege, and we should make our years count by embracing life’s privilege and purpose, as many never reach old age. Since we cannot be sure we will reach the biblical three score and ten (70 years), we should focus on making our years count, not just counting them.

Psalm 90:10 (GW)

10 Each of us lives for 70 years— or even 80 if we are in good health.  But the best of them⸤ brings⸥ trouble and misery.  Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away. 

Lesson: The beauty of aging with God is that it prepares us for eternity. Since life is both a privilege and brief, let us not only strive to live well but to live fully, even amid a world of sorrow.
