Psalms 90:9-10. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten: and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
It is well to have such a sense of our mortality upon us as this psalm suggests, and yet it is better still to recollect that we are immortal - that, when we die after the flesh. we shall not die, but live in Christ, world without end. Life is cut off, and it is like a string that holds a bird by the leg: we fly away. Which way? If we are God’s own, we fly away above yon clouds. We reach the eternal fields where we shall sing for ever and ever.
