1 LIFE TO LIVE SERIES: LIVE WISELY

“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”
Psalm 90:12.

What would you do if you realize that you only have one month to live? How would you live the remaining days of your life?

Every single day is a gift from God. Life is short and each of us has an appointment with God.

“You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man’s life is but a breath”
Psalms 39: 5

Psalm 90 was a psalm written by Moses who was a man of God. He walked his life filled with the Spirit and had witnessed 10 major miracles of God and had seen manna and quail fall from the heavens, and yet he humbly asked for God to teach him to number his days aright. What can we learn from Moses?

LEARNING FROM MOSES (What Moses asked from God).

1. Teach us.
   Moses asked God to teach him about life. God is the author of life and He is the author of time. God existed even before time began. God started time so that we can measure our days.
   

   “Be very careful , then, how you live—not as unwise, but as wise”
   Ephesians 5:15.
   

   Are you living your life on the right priorities? Are you doing what God wants you to do? Or are you just filling your life with schedules?
   
   
2. Number our days.
   In an average of 75-85 years in a life span, we only spend 5 ½ months worshipping God while we spend years and years on other things such as eating, sleeping, working, entertainment, etc..
   
   Our days on earth are numbered, but we are not victims of time. Time is one of the few things that are consistent in life. How do we value it? Do we take time for granted by simply doing lifeless routines?
   
   
3. TO GAIN.
   What do we seek to gain from this life? Do we seek eternal wealth? Wisdom? Relationships? Moses asked God to give him the basic understanding and knowledge of God. He sought to have a relationship with God. Moses sought after eternal life.
   

   “What good will it be for you to gain the whole world, yet forfeit your soul?”
   Matthew 16:26a.
   

4. A Heart of Wisdom.
   Having a Heart of Wisdom is having the ability to identify what truly matters most in life and pouring one’s passion in it, making every moment count.
   

   “Be very careful, then, how you live –not as unwise, but as wise making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is”
   Ephesians 5:15-17.
   

Even when we are not aware, whatever we do with our families, relationships and finances will echo in eternity. Are you merely existing or are you really living?

LIFE IS SHORT, LIVE WISELY.

“He has also set eternity in the hearts of men”
Ecclesiastes 3:11b.

“The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”
John 10:10.

Jesus lived all his 33 years here on earth by making every moment count.**
