'With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation' (NIV)
The introduction of Psalm 91 says it is a glowing testimony to the security of those who trust in God, probably written by a priest or Levite as a word of assurance to godly worshipers.
I have been been watching a family of thrushes up at Sentinel this summer. The bird builds it's nest on the ground, under bushes well hidden by brush. The first time I saw it, there were 3 blue eggs centered in it. The second time, 3 babies with big open wide mouths were taking up the nest and they were all about eating. Then on week three, I looked and there was nothing, the nest was mussed up and the birds gone. Knowing they were not old enough to leave, it was evident some critter ate them. Their lives were cut short and they had no time to accomplish anything.
Now think of what we can accomplish in our long lives and how much time we have to glorify God and share Him with everyone we meet. Of course, we also have to remember that even though we can have a long life, we never know when our time will be cut short and so, we must, as they say, 'make hay while the sun shines'.
I would like my life to be productive and one God would be proud of and I pray God shows me what my ministry is so I can do it all for His glory.
