Scripture: Psalms 90: 10-12

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of thine anger?  even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Scripture Commentary: Life is too short not to use your time wisely

What are you doing with the time God gives you? We exist as humans only a certain number of days; how do you apply your time?  Every day he gives you a glimpse at his creations, but you cannot understand the perfection of his creations. God knows our future, but if we walk with him, we will know where we are going.

Realizing that life is short helps us use the little time we have more wisely. Take time to number your days by asking, “what am I doing for my Lord Jesus Christ? What steps can I take to spread his Word?” We want God’s work to count, to be effective and productive.

God is Omni-temporal. We are not. Don’t be discouraged if your troubles seem prolonged. God knows what you are doing, and that the seeds you are planting take time to grow.

Moses reminds us that a thousand years are like a day to the Lord. Because he is eternal, we can depend on him. God wants us to view what we have with the right perspective. Use your God-given gifts before it is too late.

Ask yourself this question, “What do I want to see in my life before I die?” Is your answer, “Jesus Christ.”
