Two old men sat down and wrote their summary of life. One was the father, the other his son. Both wrote under the inspiration of God's Spirit. Both had suffered through many afflictions. Both knew the Lord in an unusual way. For one his summary is almost bitter, speaking of the emptiness or vanity of life. His name was Solomon, son of David. His summary is a Book called Ecclesiastes. The other one summarized life hopefully, speaking of a life long growth in experiencing God. His name was David, father of Solomon. His summary is a chapter called Psalm 71. When life winds down, strength gets exhausted, and the end is in sight for you – which summary will fit your life? Will life looked back on be Bitterness, Vanity, and Emptiness or Hopefulness, Life long growth, and experiencing God? The choice is completely yours this morning – you are writing the script that will be your life's summary!
Please turn with me to Psalm 71. This is Davids response to afflictions.
