As I deal with a case of "writer's block," I went back to 2012 to remind us that time really does fly. jb
"For all of our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. The years of our life are seventy, or even by strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone and we fly away. Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you. So teach us to number our days that we may have a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:9-12 ESV) "Look carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." (Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV) It is true that "time and tide wait for no man." We wake up and it's Monday, then it's Friday, then it's Christmas, then it's New Years Day - again. Our lives pass so fast that we really have to be careful how we handle each day. Unwise people just let time pass by without making any plans or without considering what their lives should mean. That is why the psalmist wrote: "So teach us to number our days that we may have a heart of wisdom." "Numbering our days" means that we live one day at a time and grasp what we need to be or to do each day. It is irrevocably true that time "will soon be gone and we fly away." When we number our days, we have a "heart of wisdom," which means that our hearts are in tune with God's wisdom for our lives. Paul admonished us to "make the best use of our time." If we do less than this, we will be foolish and we will not "understand what the will of the Lord is." The best way to make the best use of fleeting time is to get in tune with the will of God for your life and follow that will each day. Then you will walk in wisdom - God's wisdom. Bro. Joe
