Ps 39:4
Lord, make
me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know
how frail I am.
Fragile – Handle With Care
The Lord is
able to make us see things about ourselves.
He is a judge who judges accurately.
He is able to remind us how short our lives really are. He can show us how vulnerable we are and how
much we need His protection, promises and power. He can show us the potential of our fallen
nature left unguarded and uninstructed.
He can remind us of the lives we used to live apart from Him and His
restraining power. We need Him to do
this. If we don’t know a box contains
fragile items we will treat it in a careless manner often resulting in damage
and loss. I know, as a cancer survivor,
I realized JUST how absolutely helpless I was to this invading force ready to
eat as much healthy tissue as it could get.
I realized that I truly was dust with HIS breath breathed upon it and my
days are not promised to me. We need Him
to remind us how fragile we are apart from His help and strength. This will keep us in a place of abiding in
Him, depending on Him and hiding in Him; sensing our citizenship is truly in
heaven and here we have NO continuing city.
We are fragile and He can remind us of that avoiding unnecessary loss
and damage.
