Today's reading is from Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses.We all want to be healthy because we want to live a long enough life. If we live a long life but lonely and unhappy, would we rather not have a life so long?
In Psalm 90, Moses pointed out that all our lives are just "labour and sorrow". Think about it : we wake up, go to work, lunch, finish our work, go home, get into bed...and another day begins in a similar boring routine.
But if we invite our Lord to go through each moment with us, we may begin our day with : praises in the morning, thanks for getting me safe to office, grateful for having lunch with good friends/ colleagues, pleased that we got ability to work on difficult projects, happy to go home for dinner with your parents/loved ones and satisfying that "Lord, grateful for today!" Hurray~ Aren't we glad that our Lord is a God living in our hearts ? Let's begin our mornings with joy and praises for 70 or 80 years!
10 我們一生的年日是七十歲,如果強壯,可到八十歲,但其中可誇耀的,不過是勞苦愁煩;我們的年日轉眼即逝,我們也如飛而去了。
11誰曉得你怒氣的威力,誰按著你該受的敬畏曉得你的忿怒呢?
12求你教導我們怎樣數算自己的日子,好使我們得著智慧的心。
13耶和華啊!要到幾時呢?求你回心轉意,求你憐恤你的僕人。
14求你使我們早晨飽嘗你的慈愛,好使我們一生一世歡呼喜樂。
15你使我們受苦和遭難的年日有多久,求你使我們喜樂的日子也有多久。
