Imagine the artist Michelangelo at 89 years of age.
The average lifespan at that time was 30-40 years of age.
God blessed Michelangelo with almost 89 years in this life to make art that we even today marvel at.
Healthcare at that time was a mix of the supernatural and some limited practical science.
Michelangelo by God's grace lived a full and fruitful life.
(For more information read this article: What was medieval and Renaissance medicine?)
What do we today with the healthcare that we have and the typical lifespans we have do with the gifts God has given us?
Do we waste our precious time on entertainment and sinful behavior?
If God has given you a gift use it to His glory!!
