The Pursuit of Wisdom in a Fleeting Life
How can one claim to be wise and knowledgeable, when the biggest percentage of people don’t even live to be a hundred years old? Therefore, you only have 100 years or less to obtain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. So if you think you know it all, most likely you do not. 100 years is not very long compared to Eternity in heaven or hell.
Thousands of years ago, God and the angels created the Earth and us. Which means they are well over the age of thousand years old. Hebrews 13:2 states that Angels Walk Among Us, therefore they look like us, or you would know that you were talking to an angel. Angels can be in spirit form which you cannot see them, and they can appear as a human form where you can see them. Have you encountered someone who you thought to be an angel? People read their Bible about angels and say they believe, but in general they do not.
Reflecting on Our Limited Time
The Bible reminds us of the brevity of life. Psalm 90:12 says, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” This verse emphasizes the importance of recognizing our limited time on Earth and using it wisely to seek understanding and knowledge.
The Eternal Perspective
In contrast to our short lifespan, eternity is immeasurable. Ecclesiastes 3:11 states, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” This verse highlights the eternal nature of God’s creation and our place within it.
Angels Among Us
The presence of angels is a fascinating aspect of Christian belief. Hebrews 13:2 indeed tells us, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” This scripture encourages us to be kind and hospitable, as we may be entertaining angels unaware.
Conclusion
In our pursuit of wisdom and understanding, let us remember the limited time we have and the eternal perspective that awaits us. Reflect on the possibility of angels among us and the profound impact of living a life grounded in faith and kindness.
