COUNT DOWN!

Psalm 90: 9-12 " .....we spend our years as a tale that is told.....so teach is to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom". 

My how time flies..., If we only had more time...., we'll get together sometime.... Time must be wisely invested, we will never get it back.  The difference in success and failure has much to do with how we spend our time. There are three truths from the passage that we should take time to learn.

1. We Must "Count" our Days:   Every day is a gift. Now is all you have. Tomorrow is the day that never arrives, ....it is always ...tomorrow! How many days have you spent....on yourself......for others.....for God?

2. We Must Make Our Days "Count":  Ephesians 5:16" make the best use of the time for the days are evilRomans 14:12 says that "we will give account to God". Does what you do really matter? I have never heard anyone say on their deathbed: "Wow, I really should have spent more time at the office.." Have you made your days count? ....toward yourself.....for others.....for God?

3. We Must know what "Counts": What is important to us is not always what is important to God. Isa 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways. For as the heaven is higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. " Will what you do today really matter 100 years from now, or in eternity? What can you do that will "count"?

How will you spend the rest of your days? The Countdown has already started.....
