My Life Draws Near to the End

Scripture Psalms 88:3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to the grave.

Observation: God has given me joy and yet my mind is still full of anxiety. Whenever I look away from my Lord the enemy seems to have a great time disturbing my thoughts and taking my joy. My life is coming to its end and yet I feel there is so much more I should be doing. This is the time in most people’s life that they look forward to retiring and resting from all the years of work and enjoying life. God has put on my heart this is the time for serving and fulfilling the purpose He has created me for. I’ll have plenty of time for rest and the best part of my life doesn’t start until I go home.

Application: I need to rejoice that each day I come closer to being in my eternal home, but need to get busy using the time God has given me here on Earth. This is my chance to earn a place in Heaven that will glorify God. I need to fight the laziness and pray for strength to accomplish whatever God is calling me to do. Time is running out here and I need to get busy finishing up all that God calls of me before going home.

Prayer: My Lord I need strength to carry on take the time that I worry and feel anxious and use it that I may serve you and others. Open doors for your servant to do the things you call of me to do and that this life would be a gift to You that may be used for your glory. I love you and You deserve the best I can be.
