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.
