The Brevity of Our Years
"I came naked from my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I leave...."(Job1:21) That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.(2Co4:16) Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (Ps90:12)
