Running rampid...or Psalm 39

Most days I try (key word try) to read through 5 Psalms along with my other readings.  The Psalms are filled with deep truths covered in praise and adoration to the Lord.  With that being said, I was reading this morning in Psalm 39 and verse 6:

"Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.  Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them."

If it stopped there that would be enough to show the reality we all live in today, a rushed and hurried society with little time for God or His Word.  Instead, we want want want without any regard for the will of God in our lives.  But those who are believers can rest in the following verse (Psalm 39:7):

"Now, Lord what do I wait for? My hope is in You."

Why not take today and fellowship with our Lord and Savior, in fact why not take every day and stop for just a few minutes in our rushed society and fellowship with Him, He longs to come and dine with us, all we have to do is open the door.  As Psalm 39 says several times, we are but a vapor.  Life is short so live it for the Glory of God, and if that means stopping to re-focus on Him then take the time, because truly He is our Hope!
