"I waited patiently for God to help me;
then He listened and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair;
out from the bog and the mire,
and set my feet on a hard, firm path
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,
of praises to our God.
Now many will hear of the glorious things
He did for me,
and stand in awe before the Lord,
and put their trust in Him."

~ Psalm 40:1 - 3 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Life is short no matter how long we live. If there is something important we want to do, we must not put it off for a better day. Ask ourselves, 'If I only had six months to live, what would l I do?' Tell someone that you love him or her? Deal with an undisciplined are of our lives? Tell someone about Jesus?' Since life is short, we must not neglect what is truly important."
