Let's look at the text that we've been looking at throughout these teachings, the 91st Psalm,

and we've been talking about the subject of long life, longevity.

I thank the Lord for helping us with this, putting this on our heart.

I believe it's been right.

And I'm stirred up about it, are you?

I believe that it's God's will for us to live long.

I mean, you study through the scriptures, you'll find that being cut off in youth,

being cut off in midlife is a curse.

It's a curse.

And you and I are not cursed.

We're blessed.

We're free from the curse.

Well, if we're blessed, our life ought to be victorious and or to be a substantial amount of it.

If the Lord tarries is coming, you and I are to do some long living.

Besides that, you know, we don't have, it's not like we've done so much and accomplished so much and done so perfectly that we don't need all the time we've got.

A lot of folk have wasted a lot of their time.

Got started late, right?

So, I mean that, among other reasons,

ought to cause us to want to use and utilize all of our time.

We need it.

To do everything that we should do,

to become everything we should be and become.
