How Will You Spend Your Years? (Psalm 90:9-12)

Today's scripture: Psalm 90:9-12

Our time on this globe is fleeting. While we might live 70 or even 80 years, it’s just a blip on the radar of eternity. And sad to say, in a generation or two, most of us will have been forgotten. So why do we work so hard do gain on earth? To earn money? To buy stuff?

It’s all going to be heaped in a landfill some day.

I don’t know about you, but I truly want to use my time on things that matter—but I’m not always good at it. I want to spend time with the Lord in prayer and the study of His word—but I so often lose focus and waste that precious time. I want to serve Him—but instead I serve myself.

Then I ask myself: If I live to that 70 years, I have 20 years left. Twenty years to do what? Sit around and watch TV?

Or will I spend that time doing those things that really matter?

What about you? How many days can you number? And what will you do with your time?
