Homilist Psalm 89:47-48 Remember how short my time is: why have you made all men in vain?… There are many circumstances in life that tend to impress us with the vanity of our mortal existence on the assumption that there is no future. I. The disproportion between the LENGTH OF OUR EXISTENCE AND OUR LONGINGS. II. The disproportion between our FACULTIES and our ACHIEVEMENTS. All feel they can do vastly more than they can accomplish here. III. The disproportion between our ASPIRATIONS and our ATTAINMENT. How much knowledge, power, influence we aspire to, but how little do we gain! (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?WEB: Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men! |
