He has also counted the days of a person. Committing to God's standards to judge our lives is a challenge. Christians often fall prey to a dangerous complacency that results from comparison with human standards. However, the thrill is in being judged by God's own standards and nothing less. It is through constant evaluation, a Christ-like personality emerges.
Growth is the key word in Christian life as against stagnancy.
The Word of God enables the Christian in his life showing the areas of lack and possibilities of further growth. It is the power of the Word of God to penetrate the focus here. The Word of God can penetrate deep into the thoughts of individuals and make judgements just as the knife of a trained surgeon does. The Word of God reveals what is lacking, what is to be corrected and what should be nourished so that a Christian grows in his life to the full stature of Christ. To be rebuked and corrected by the Word of God one has to be at the right side.
