Just a Breath

Psalms 39-41

The psalmist proclaims that "My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath." What shall we do with that breath? Spend it in anger? Heap up wealth? Rebel? I like the way lecrae puts it...
I know in our day, rebel means sinner. But everyone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin! [...] You're just a conformist if you're drunk and naked, and driving around on a motorcycle, smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments and getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that! That's so tired. If you really want to be a rebel, read your Bible, because no one's doing that. That's rebellion. That's the only rebellion left!
Maybe rebelling isn't such a bad idea, as long as we rebel from the world... not God. Use your breath wisely.
