WE WILL DO A TEST - Heart of Wisdom Series 004
We will do a test. The test to do is the test of numbering. Without this test, we can't change the direction in which we're living our lives, especially if hitherto, it has been lived unsatisfactorily. It is the test carried out and the result obtained from such test that would teach us what life, seriousness, attention, carefulness, caution each must bring to live his remaining years on earth. Let's enter the test centre. Here lies a test tube before us.
Test tube: He has lived 35 years on earth.
Test tube: she has lived 70 on earth.
Like Moses said, 70 is our years but eighty by reason of strength. So, let's say the terminal age of the two here is 80. After the test, we found out one is 35 and the other 70 for instance. One has 45 years left to live while the other has 10. That's how it is for each of us. Some will have much time left while others may not. Irrespective of what their age is, their hope of living lengthily like a just born baby isn't assured again because they've both spent a great deal of their lives. They are all near the grave than a child. The time each of them has left is therefore their leverage to catch up.
If age numbering is what could be done at the hospital before the discovery of what years is left to live, you'll see that many will come out of the doctor's office with different reports. Some on discovery of nearing death might like terminal patients be discouraged first of all. A 78 year old man would be making preparation for dying. He'll finalize his will, sign peace with all and hope for the final call because of being near the terminal age than any other. Those below however might still be full of other life's activity but his (the 78 man's) can't but be different. Thank God for the test of numbering that exposes and betrays to us what years or days each may likely have left to live. If not, many of us will still recline carelessly in life the more. We'll still be saying, "today is not the day of salvation." This would have been trouble for mankind but we thank God that we could number and by the discovery from it order our lives, reset it or make new promises for it to outperform our past. May you not be without watch. May the day - your years not be fleeting away just like that without an awareness in your soul that you're aging. Science may help us delay ageing but no aged should fall in the error of being a youth when he/she is not. Do breast enhancement or tummy sulk. Do face surgery. It can't but somehow somewhere show that the dew of youth that once made your body its house has dried up long ago. This morning, God is saying, "do a test". This test will show you where you belong: whether your years are still much or almost gone. This test luckily don't have to be with the doctor. You can sit yourself down, account for when you were born, how many years you've lived and the likelihood of when to die. As blatant and confrontational the result might be, it will help you live a brand new life.
PRAYER: Lord, may the truth on age numbering I should know not be hidden. Anything veiling the truth of temporal living on earth to me, I tear you off.
