Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
The Emphasis is to properly number or appreciate the shortness of our days.
What can we do in order to make the most of our days?
Maximize our life… 5 Principles
- Destiny – Where am I going? If we don’t know where we’re going, we’ll end up someplace else.
- Purpose – Why am I here? Without knowledge of purpose, life becomes an endless string of activities with little or no significance.
- Dream – When will it happen…set a deadline
EXPECT SOME PROBLEMS (Prepare!)
Genesis 37:4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
Genesis 37:19-20 “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him.”
Don’t only expect problems, but ESTIMATE THE PRICE
Mark 5 – Story of demon-possessed man
They wanted God to get rid of the demons, but they didn’t want to lose their pigs. (Wanting God to solve our problems without it costing US anything) “We want deliverance without disturbance!”
4. Plan – How to
My daily agenda should reflect what I’m doing with my time.
5. Coach – WHO is that? Do we have somebody who’s not impressed with who we are?
Remember to count the days, ‘cause they count. And remember that time is flying so why not be the pilot of your time?
