Short

This morning as I was doing some work around the house an old song came into my head:

'Soon and very soon, I am going to see the King

soon and very soon, I am going to see the King

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, I am going to see the King'.

Believe me, I have not had opportunity to sing that song or even hear it, anywhere in a very long time, so it certainly struck me as odd that this old chorus would come into my head. (as strange a head as I may have!!)  Very quickly I recognized the evidence of the Spirit in all this and began to pray around it all.

Not to worry! I am not speaking of my imminent demise; I sensed God remind me of how short life is in the light of eternity and that this is only a brief internship in this age.  The Spirit whispered to me an encouragement and reminder of the worthiness of devoting my life to pursuing God.

Show me O Lord, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
Ps. 39:4

'Soon and very soon, I am going to see the King
soon and very soon, I am going to see the King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, I am going to see the King'.
