These
chapters illustrate why Psalms is such a powerful book, even as one
written by David both before and after his fall. Chapter 49 was a fantastic discourse on the
priorities that we should have in our lives – when I struggled with my
testimony I thought the way that David described a temporal man thinking. It doesn’t matter what we have, what cities
we have named after us, or how many children we have (or even if we leave
behind a ridiculously-detailed journal).
None of this matters, because we are either saved by the Grace of Christ
or we reject that gift.
Being
saved is worth any suffering and any price.
Not being saved makes everything else meaningless and absurd. There really is only one thing that is
important in life, surrounded by a huge number of distractions.
