📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 39:4-6
4 “O Lord, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
6 Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing[a] they are in turmoil;
man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

| 0:00.0 | Good morning my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. |
| 0:05.6 | Man, we have got a great section of scripture today to dig into in Psalm 39 |
| 0:11.2 | because we want to align our minds with the way that God thinks about the world |
| 0:16.2 | because that's how we can live today properly in light of what he says is really going on around us. Now Psalm chapter 39 |
| 0:25.0 | versus 4 through 6 are a mindset and a way of thinking that our culture does not |
| 0:31.9 | encourage us into very often. |
| 0:35.0 | It's a way of thinking that's looking way down the road at the inevitability |
| 0:39.9 | of the fact that each of us is going to pass on from this earth someday. It's looking ahead to your life. |
| 0:48.0 | It reminds me of a man named Jonathan Edwards years ago, one of the Puritan preachers back in the beginning days of the United States |
| 0:57.8 | and he had a set of resolutions that he had written out as a young man, and one of his resolutions was to think often about |
| 1:05.6 | his own death. Now that may sound a little morbid, but what he was trying to do was to encourage |
| 1:12.4 | himself to regularly realize that this life that's going on around him that he's experiencing with such vibrance and energy at times and excitement is not going to be here forever and he needs to be |
| 1:26.7 | living his life in light of that fact and that's what we find in Psalm chapter 39 beginning in verse 4. |
| 1:35.0 | David says, Oh Lord, make me know my end. |
| 1:39.7 | And what is the measure of my days? |
| 1:42.8 | Let me know how fleeting I am. |
| 1:46.1 | Behold, you made my days a few handbreaths and my lifetime is as nothing before you. |
| 1:53.3 | Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath. |
| 1:59.2 | Surely a man goes about as a shadow. |
| 2:02.0 | Surely for nothing they are in turmoil. |
| 2:05.1 | Man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather. |
| 2:10.7 | Now that mindset is one of realization. It's one of coming to grips with the facts around your own mortality. |
