Jeremiah 39-41, 2 Timothy 1, Psalms 90:1-91:16, Proverbs 26:1-2
What God said to me – Children don’t have a realistic sense of time – school seems to go on forever, summer is short, Christmas is an eternity away in their minds. Some parents use an advent calendar to count the days as Christmas approaches and kids are “extra” good and “extra” aware as the day approaches. The Psalmist cried out, “Do return, O Lord; how long will it be?” His heart yearned for that day. Unlike Christmas, you don’t know that day, but you can feel it approaching – you sense the time is drawing close. Be like the child who is “extra” good and “extra” aware – spend more and more time with Me. Let Me teach you how to number your days and set your priorities. Even though time may seem to be dragging on for you as the world grows more chaotic and pulls further away from Me, for Me it is just the blink of an eye. The day is set and rapidly approaching so set your heart and mind to walk in a manner worthy of your calling so you won’t be ashamed at My coming and you can present to Me a heart of wisdom.
