What's the time?
'... teach us to number our days' Psalm 90:12
When we're young it feels like the world is our oyster. We've got all the time in the world. Psalm 90 (the oldest Psalm) was written by Moses and He asks God to '... teach us to make the most of our time, so that we can grow in wisdom.' It's possible Moses wrote this psalm when all he could see was sand.
For 40 years Moses was with the people of Israel, living in a desert. God promised them good things for their lives, but instead they ignored God and did their own thing. As a result the majority of them never left the desert; they never got to see God's better way for their lives. They lived and died in a desert, over six hundred thousand of them. They wasted their time doing their own thing, becoming right miserable numpties!
You may not be living in a desert, but how many times already have you 'wasted your time?' or been told by someone else that you're wasting theirs? How many times have you wished time away, wanting to sack off your teenage years because you're sick of people 'treating you like a little kid!' Moses saw firsthand the horror of people wasting the time they have. Today ask God to '... teach you to make the most of your time, so that you can grow in wisdom.' Let your life be a life of significance; not a waste!
