Lesson 007 - "Being in the Presence of God"

We have often heard the saying, "Life is short". And truly it is. The Bible describes it as a vapor--and David Waller illustrates it using wooden yardsticks. But that fact alone doesn't motivate. Wisdom looks at this short life from the lengthy and limitless perspective of eternity.

Taking eternity into account changes things. Naturally it can be easy to forget about eternity, focusing instead on our own life and the time we assume is ours. "Numbering our days" enables us to stand back and glimpse the "mosaic" God has been creating from the beginning of time.

What does it take to get your attention? A windstorm? A lost ring? Disappointment or loneliness? Unexpected loss or unbearable pain? An ongoing illness? Uncertainties in your life?

Dean Miller wants you to ace it in life's journey through this wicked world. His message tells about a young man who came from a troubled family, endured trying situations, and lived the majority of his life in the midst of a foreign country. He had nowhere to turn for moral support.
