Life Is Long Enough

Life Is Long Enough

All the days planned for me were
written in your book before I was one day old.

Psalm 139:16

No person lives one day more or less than God intends. “All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old.”

But her days here were so few . . .

His life was so brief . . .

To us it seems that way. We speak of a short life, but compared to eternity, who has a long one? A person’s days on earth may appear as a drop in the ocean. Yours and mine may seem like a thimbleful. But compared to the Pacific of eternity, even the years of Methuselah filled no more than a glass. . . .

In God’s plan every life is long enough and every death is timely. And though you and I might wish for a longer life, God knows better.
