Day 23

Psalm 90:12-17

Pastor Daron used this section of scripture to enlighten our New Years Eve 2015.  I want to share it with you as day 23.

Some excerpts:
- Time.  It controls everything.  Except one thing - the One who created it - our God.
- Verse 12 - Take inventory.  Number my days/hours/minutes/seconds.  Am I robbing God by not using the product (gifts) He has given me?

- Verse 13 - Please let up Lord!  I know I deserve nothing but punishment for my behavior.  Justice for my robberies.  But you are a compassionate God.
- Verse 17 - What is the "work of our hands"?  EVERYTHING we say/do/think.  In this verse I'm asking God to establish it.  Initiate it.  Start it in the right place!
- Verse 16 - Oh Lord - make your salvation working deeds obvious to me - open my eyes to the beauty and wonder.
- Verse 15 - How many days do we have?  Doesn't matter - but since I'm still here - what does matter is what I'm doing with them.

God has given me the time.  What am I doing with it?
"If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it." (Jonathan Winters)

- O God, Our Help In Ages Past (Promise Keepers version)

Lord,
A thousand ages in Thy sight
  Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night

  Before the rising sun.

O God, our help in ages past,
  Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,

  And our eternal home.
Amen.
