Psalm 90:12  
Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts. (CSB)

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (NLT)

Word came yesterday that a dear friend was nearing death. He has battled a dread disease for quite a while. He peacefully slipped away around midnight, surrounded by those who loved him most. 

From the first time we met, he treated me with characteristic grace. His friendship has repeatedly blessed me for over fifteen years. A group of men who do the same kind of job around our area gathered almost monthly for several years for breakfast, conversation, and prayer. Glenn’s smile and sunny disposition enriched every meeting. 

Glenn was a man without pretense. He embodied deep joy. He laughed easily, loved extravagantly, and celebrated every good thing he heard from the men in our group. There are too few friends like him in this world.

Glenn made me want to be a better man whenever I was around him. 

As we gather for worship today, let’s give thanks for men like Glenn. Let’s pray for his family as they grieve their loss and heaven’s gain. Let’s look at our lives and ponder how we can shine God’s light in every conversation the way Glenn did. 

I will thank God for Glenn and learn from his gracious nature.

Our Father, thank you for men like Glenn. His life declares that your grace is real and builds us into better men and women. His joy is contagious. His laughter warms hearts. His prayers put steel in our spines. Thank you for a life well lived and a rest well earned. Amen.

Daily D – Job 8:2-7

Job 8:2-7
“How long will you go on like this?
You sound like a blustering wind.
Does God twist justice?
Does the Almighty twist what is right?
Your children must have sinned against him,
so their punishment was well deserved.
But if you pray to God
and seek the favor of the Almighty,
and if you are pure and live with integrity,
he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
And though you started with little,
you will end with much.”

Daily D – Job 1:9-11

Job 1:9-11 Satan replied to the LORD, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

Daily D – Psalm 145:17

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.

Daily D – Psalm 139:1-6

Psalm 139:1-6
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

Daily D – Psalm 130

Psalm 130
From the depths of despair, O LORD,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer.
