Psalm 49

This message of reality took me two minutes to read. The sons of Korah were very blunt in their song. I'm not sure I've heard many modern songs that strike the same harsh chords as this song. But the message in one we need to hear; one we need to heed. Verses 12 and 20 repeat the same message about the speed of life. We don't last long on this earth and then the body is respectfully taken out of sight. But from the physical perspective; that's it. This psalm is noticably empty of the hope that God has in store for his people. I'm not sure why that message was left out, but I have an idea. I think the message of God's hope through geace was not mentioned so that we would hunger for something more. That we would develop an appitite that only God can satisfy.
