Lord, teach us to number my days 
that I may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

(PSALM 90:12)

Richard Baxter once said, “I preach as one who may never preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.” We need to learn the all-important lesson, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” and live our days in CHRIST, awaiting His call (HEBREWS 9:27). It is so foolish to set our affection on a dying world and its short-lived comforts and relationships. Ryle said, “For a moment of time, men lose a glorious eternity.” We are toiling and wearing ourselves about trifles, running to and fro like ants on a hill to build that which shall soon crumble, not realizing that in a few years we shall all be gone and another generation will fill our place.
