Psalms 90:10

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

 

Bible Reading for a Year [bible]prove7[/bible]; [bible]0john17[/bible]; [bible]ichro27-29[/bible]

 

Microsoft released an interesting ad to launch its latest video game, Xbox, as a competitor of Sony Play Station and Nintendo. Microsoft Xbox’s ad shows a mother giving birth to her baby, and just in very short time the baby grows up gradually and finally dies in the graveyard. It tells us a new philosophy about life.

Life is short, play more. It seems like we’re just born but soon we die. Because life is short, we don’t have much time to enjoy it. Therefore, as long as we live we should have fun and play.

Many people embrace such philosophy, and they enjoy their lives. Solomon, the wisest king ever, tells the young to rejoice in their youth and to let their heart cheer them in the days of their youth, but eventually  for all these God will bring them into judgment (Ecclesiastes 11:9).

Life is short. What are your priorities? Would you choose to rejoice and let your heart cheer in the days of your life? Stop playing, start praying. Stop feasting, start fasting. Seek God more.
