While I understand David is preparing the reader for the next verse, the question by itself seems obvious. Of course man desires a long, healthy and prosperous life. “What man is he that desireth life”
Life is hope and death is the enemy. While we live, there is hope of change, but when death comes it is the end of our decisions. When death arrives at our door, we face the choices we have made in this life. A good life prepares us for the reality of death and what is to come thereafter. Poor or bad decisions in this life will destroy the hope of tomorrow. Longevity of this life is wasted away when we depend on self rather than the precepts of GOD. “loveth many days”
Real hope of life is not in the hear and now, it is in the everlasting life promised by our LORD. Even the most spiritual mind of the greatest believer can not fathom what GOD has prepared for those that have placed their trust in Him, through CHRIST.
The other side of the coin is the same. No one is able to fathom what is prepared for the one that refuses the provision CHRIST! The question I propose today is which place do desire and what provision have you made?
The only logical answer, if you are to “see good”, is to trust CHRIST with all your heart, mind and soul.
A waisted life in the here and now,
Full satisfaction, it will disallow.
But salvation is full and free,
Through JESUS a good life you will see.
Not only a good life in the here and now
But future glory, CHRIST will endow.
Full satisfaction now a guarantee.
All fear of death gone, you’re set free.

“For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” James 4:14b
