David in Psalm 39 teaches us four memorable points as we consider that our life is a vapor:

1. Be Careful (Psalm 39:1-3)
   • Be careful what you say, how you say it, and to whom you speak.
   • Content & context should be carefully communicated correctly to believers and unbelievers, differently.
   • All believers will have trials, but God is not to blame, as if He is unfair.
   • Trials are good. They bring glory to God and sanctification for us.
2. Be Clear (Psalm 39:4-6)
   • Be clear in your mind and in your words about your theology of man and theology of God & His character.
   • Who are we to ever question God’s providences?
3. Be Contrite (Psalm 39:7-11)
   • Deal with transgression/sin as God’s Word commands.
   • Consider and focus on your personal brokenness over sin and authentic repentance.
   • God calls us to give an account for our sin working out our salvation with fear & trembling.
   • God will relentlessly purify us in this life.
4. Be Consistent (Psalm 39:12-13)
   • Consistently petition God in prayer for grace and peace.
   • Ask God daily to make us more like Christ.
