Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil. Psalm 90:15 – After a quick google search, there is 29,220 days in 80 years. Meaning if someone were blessed to live up to 80 years old, they would have spent 29,220 days on this earth. Now Moses, the writer of this psalm, lived to be 120 years old, so far more days than even that, and we know that many of those years were spent in struggle and affliction during the wilderness journey. Moses then in his prayer to the Lord asked that the days he spent in struggle would be matched with days of blessing. That’s a solid prayer that I would assume many of us would like to pray as well. For we’ve spent our fair share of days in struggle. Maybe we’re not yet at 29,220 days of struggle, but even if we were, we must remember the Lord plans to answer that prayer of Moses for every believer. For in Heaven, we will be glad for as many days as there are in eternity (a number that google couldn’t provide for me). I share that today as a reminder for you while you are in your days of struggle. These days will end. Hopefully before day one in Heaven for you begins, but if not at least remember there will be a day one in Heaven for you someday if you follow Jesus. The sorrows and struggles of yesterday will be forgotten when our heavenly afterlife begins. Cherish that beautiful future that’s ahead for every believer, that the glad days we are praying for are promised, and their gladness will outdo any struggle of our hard days. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3505
