All Great Men Are Dying

“A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

                                                                                 William Shakespeare

Knowing we’re not all that great is a major accomplishment in life. Next to my senior picture was a statement, “All great men are dying and I don’t feel so well myself.” I sure had a lot to learn about life and where I fit in.

Here’s how the Bible describes it:

Psalm 33:13-15 

The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.

Job 4:17 

‘Can mortal man be in the right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?

Psalm 144:3 

O Lord, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?

Job 10:9 

Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust?

You are not much and you are not here for long.

Give it some thought.
