What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. —Jas. 4:14.
My days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. —Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep . . . in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up: in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. —Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down.
The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. —They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. —Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Job 9:25,26. -Psa. 90:5,6. -Job 14:2. I John 2:17. -Psa. 102:26,27. -Heb. 13:8.

Shine on Me, Lord
I wondered what God would have for me this morning.
I was feeling “dreary and dark” yet.
Then I came to this reading…
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. —Num. 6:25,26.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. —The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. —The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies sake. Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee. —Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. —Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
John 1:18. -Heb. 1:3 -II Cor. 4:4. Psa. 31:16,17. -Psa. 30:7. -Psa. 89:15. Psa. 29:11. Matt. 14:27.
Notice the shining brightness of His light above!
So…am I feeling much better now?
Not particularly.
But I am grateful to be reminded and reassured by what I read above.
