Time Keeps On Slippin'

Time Keeps on Slippin’
BIG Question: “Where is your heart?”
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.” -Matthew 6:21
Da Word: Psalm 90….
“Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop a heart of wisdom.”
What do I want my DASH to keep speaking of me?
- That’s all that someone who walks by will know of us; but what about the treasures we are storing up in Heaven? What are we investing into the lives of others that will outlast us?
- Begin to evaluate our days, goals and priorities in light of “the dash.”
Who OWNS me and MY DAYS?
- “Pay careful attention, then to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise—making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” -Ephesians 5: 15-17
- Question isn’t “God, what will You have me to do with the rest of my life,” but “what would You have me do TODAY?”
How will I handle the INTERRUPTIONS?
- “My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered the interruptions were my work.” -Henri Nouwen
- Will you live your days AWAKE?
That’s why Moses ended Psalm 90 with “Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish for us the work of our hands—establish the work of our hands!”
