"Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. (Psalm 90: 12).
He who prays daily and feeds on the word of God every day will surely know that life is short. What wisdom we gain from this truth.
The corporate world is obsessed by long-term plans: 20 year-plan, 15, 10,etc.
The word of God teaches the grace of the present moment. We are guaranteed only today. Actually only this moment. Unforeseen events like Hurricane Harvey cause disruptions of plans.
"Jesus said to his disciples:
“Stay awake!
For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.
Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into." (Matthew 24: 42 - 51).
