Basketball Skills

Today I was wondering if I would improve in basketball through out my whole life. I feel like I am getting better, smarter, faster, and stronger. I am able to run around for hours, while sinking my 3′s and my lay-ups and stuffing shots on defense.

But obviously, I will grow old. When will I climax? Age 24? Age 30?

Psalm 39
4 “O LORD, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
6 Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7 “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Do not make me the scorn of the fool!

Oh, how humbling this is! God is not like us. We are creatures; he is the creator. Even the daily things we do (like: eating, sleeping, and pooping) should remind us of God’s grandeur and sovereignty.
