Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90.12 niv
When I get the time…
Where did the time go?
There aren’t enough hours in the day…
Time flies when you’re [fill in the blank].
I don’t have time for this.
An “alarm” clock. Is this why time alarms me???
A quote I have kept for years…
“Don’t ever say, ‘I don’t have time.’ What you mean is ‘I haven’t arranged my life so I can make the time to do more of the things that are meaningful to me.'” ~Alexandra Stoddard
I continue to work on discerning the difference between the apprehensive, nerve-inducing “what time is it?” and the more important “what is it time for?” I wanna be doing the right thing at the right time. Ecclesiastes 3, says,
1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.
5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.
9 What do people really get for all their hard work? 10 I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. 11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
I don’t want to get all the way to the end and realized I wasted precious time, not one minute of the plan of God for my life.
There is a TIME { f o r } everything, even if this isn’t exactly the time right now. A mystery I am pondering. If I had it to do all over again…
Teach us to number our days, our hours, our minutes and seconds; teach us to discern and organize our very lives, Lord, in a way that welcomes You (Wisdom) and heals our hearts….Every morning, every evening, all our days: May Your favor rest on us. Establish the work of our hands, yes – establish the work of our hands.
From Psalm 90, a Prayer of Moses, the man of God
If I could put time in a bottle, the first thing thing that I’d like to do….
NOTE TO SELF: So, ummmmmm….in light of the previous post (from yesterday), it must be time for Heaven Fest.
