Time Is Short

Time Passes Quicker Than You Would Think
Make The Most Of The Time You Have!

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. 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 
                                                                                (Psalm 90:10,12 KJV)

Teach us to number our days, dear Lord! Teach us to make each day count! 

So many people appear to be rejoicing that 2020 is over. For some reason they  seem to think that 2021 is going to be a much better year. Yet, the passing of another year brings us closer to that threescore and ten.

Whether our years are fruitful or not is up to us. The Lord blesses us but we often miss the blessings because we are busy pouting over minor stuff instead of rejoicing in the gifts that he has given us. 

Time passes quite quickly. One day we are young. Very soon after we are not. While we have time here on earth we ought to make good use of that time and not fritter it away feeling sorry for ourselves or wasting our days angry with others. 

Thanks be to God, Jesus the Christ came so that through his blood we might be reconciled to God and to one another. Living as though we are not reconciled to one another is a horrible way to squander away the days we have here on earth.

Let us live as children of God making the best of the days that God has given us to dwell on this earth.

God's Peace - Pr. J.
