Life is Short, Death is Coming...But [Psalm 49]

Psalm 49


Like Ecclesiastes, the 49th Psalm is a reminder that life is short and death is coming for us all, rich and poor, righteous and unrighteous alike.

“For he sees that even the wise die;
    the fool and the stupid alike must perish
    and leave their wealth to others.”

-Psalm 49:10

Life Is Short, So Therefore Be Grateful For Every Breath God Gives You Today.


But Psalm 49 “brings out into the open the assurance of victory over death which Ecclesiastes leaves concealed. The great But God… (15) is one of the mountaintops of Old Testament hope.”

Derek Kidner

Here’s the verse:

“But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.”

Psalm 49:15

Life Is Short and Death is Coming, But God Raises the Dead!

Be Hopeful Today.
