| Good morning, everyone, Our theme for this month: “Savor the moment” Our Bible verse for today: “O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? Man is like a breath, his days are like a fleeting shadow.” Psalm 144:3-4 (NIV) Our thought for today: “Consider the brevity of life” There are many things about Facebook that I dislike. It’s often misused by people in wrong or unhelpful ways, but there is some good to it as well. For one thing, it helps people who otherwise would not be in touch with each other to have an ongoing relationship that is often real-time and even visual (with the pictures and videos that are posted). For instance, Facebook allows me to be in contact with people in my hometown with whom I grew up but haven’t seen in fifty years. I’m also now in touch with old military buddies, and people from churches I served in decades ago, and old mission team members from around the country who have been on international mission teams with me, and relatives who live in other parts of the country, and so many more. One thing this contact with people from my past has reminded me of is the brevity of life. I’m amazed at how many of my old friends from my childhood and teenage years have already died – some in their forties, fifties, and early sixties. Likewise, old Navy buddies from decades ago – so many have died young. The brevity of life is a subject the Bible refers to frequently. Just a quick search of “The Topical Bible” reveals forty-eight scriptural references from both the Old and New Testaments pertaining to the brevity of life. If God returns to a subject that often in His written Word, He must be trying to tell us something. Our theme this month is about savoring the moments of our lives. It implies an unhurried, deep, and thoughtful focus on the things that truly matter, and the realization that we only have so much time and that it will pass quickly. I encourage you to consider the brevity of your life and then make sure you are making the most of the time you do have. God bless, Pastor Jim (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00 – in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville |
