Psalm 39:5 NKJV
"Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah"
Even the life of our sweet Savior Jesus was a vapor here on earth. Although He is eternal, without beginning & without end, His ministry span & His mission here in earthly body was short- 33 years. I already have outlived His time here. Am I as focused on my earthly mission as He was? Do I understand the purpose of my calling? Do you? Make no mistake, there is a point to your life. A God-ordained calling for your time here.
Below are the words to the song "Mary Knew". As the mother of Jesus, she understood her calling. She endured in complete confidence & faith, to believe & live something so miraculous, it made no sense in the natural world. I pray you're blessed with the wonder of Christmas all over again this year. . .
An angel of the Lord, went out for visitation
Mary's willing heart was this angel's destination
He spoke of one, who would be born, to reign as King, and Lord
Overshadowed by the truth Mary knew
Everyone would question, her story's valadation
Mary's news did not bring a joyous celebration
Even Joseph could not understand, that this was heaven's Lamb
But a manger now held the truth that Mary knew
Mary knew Him at His best, she knew Him at His worst
She understood the man in Him, but knew that God came first
So she held her little promise, and she watched Him as He grew
Her faith necer waivered from the truth, that Mary knew
She followed all the way, to a top of a great hill
Mary watched in silent pain, the Father's plan fulfilled
And at His feet she knelt that day as tears ran down her face
For the cross now held the truth that Mary knew
Mary knew Him at His best, she knew Him at His worst
She understood the man in Him, but knew that God came first
So she held her lottle promise, and she watched Him as He died . . .
So she held her little promise and she watched Him as He arose . . .
Her faith never waivered from the truth, that Mary knew
