MAN'S FINAL JOURNEY Part II

Key Passage: Hebrew 9: 27, Psalm 91: 12

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Each of us on earth has a day of accountability when we will stand before God and answer for the life we are living on earth. The result of that exercise will determine where and how each of us will spend eternity; and the verdict of that exercise is irreversible. That is the reason every one of us ought to ensure that he or she spends his life wisely.

Human wisdom and ability are limited. Man cannot fully direct himself (Jer 10:23). He needs the help of the Only Wise God (Rom 16:27), the Almighty. The Psalmist rightly prayed, “Teach us to number our days ….” He knew how transient life on earth is, and he did not want to waste it in frivolities and vanities. He needed wisdom to live a fruitful and a fulfilled life. In Psalm 143 verse 10, he prayed, “Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness”. He needed God as his mentor to lead and guide him in the right path. In Psalm 25 verses 4 and 5, he prayed, “Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation.”

Man has a short lifespan on earth and every of his life endeavor needs to be accomplished within that timeframe. The Psalmist said, “Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence! No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave” (TLB Ps 89:47-48).

We need the help of the Almighty in every area of our lives to fulfill the purpose of our existence. We were created to fulfill God’s pleasure (Rev 4:11). It is only the life that satisfies the desire of God that is the life well lived. The wise King Solomon said, “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil” (NIV Eccl 12:13-14).

Pray, Lord, give me the wisdom and grace to live a fruitful and a fulfilling life; teach me to do your will that my life may glorify you
