How Brief My Time

June 17th, 2012 · No Comments

Psalms 39:4 (New Living Translation)

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.

I don’t understand this request of David. He wants God to remind him how short his life is.

Why does David want to be reminded of this?

I suppose there is something here to do with staying humble. David wants to remain humble. Perhaps I should be praying this prayer more often.
