「The days of our lives are seventy years;

And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,

Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;

For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.」　Amen.

That's exactly right. There were times in my life when I lived hedonistically, when I fell into materialism, when I was self-centered. But somewhere along the way, I experienced a feeling of emptiness, and a sense of uneasiness came over me, wondering whether this was the right thing to do. That is God's speaking to us, His small voice. It is left to us to decide whether or not to follow it. Fortunately, I followed God. Although it was the beginning of hardship and suffering, it was also the acquisition of an "eternal dwelling.

May we spend time with the Lord today as well.

God bless you.   See you next week.
