Wisdom

Thank you bro Ying Qian for introducing me this link on desiriggod.org:

In it are many lessons to be learnt. I will just quote a short paragraph from it, and you all can read the rest from the website yourself. This particular paragraph is especially meaningful to me now, as I have been hearing quite a few sermons on it.

"Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalms 90:12

The shortness of life it is. In our minds, we know that life is short, and that this life is temporary, only a preparation for our next life which is eternal.

Why then are we so poor on prioritising our lives? Is not the eternal worth more than the temporial? For the things of today will fade away, but the glory of God remains forever.

Have you ever thought what it would be to look back on your life when you die? Will you be satisfied? Have you walked the good walk? Are you a faithful and obedient servant?

Therefore, cherish your everyday life, and do not take things for granted. And prioritise your life and grasp hold of opportunities. Fear the Lord, and saturate your heart and mind with His words. Gain wisdom then, to find true happiness in God's words.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" 2 Corinthians 4 : 18
