Understanding that life is short, we live with a sense of urgency and purpose, not wasting the day because night is coming soon. We also strip away the things that don’t matter and focus on the eternal things that last. Such is the life of wisdom, of one who lives knowing that tomorrow is not promised.
“Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom” (Psalms 90:12)
