Slowing Down Time

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 33–35
• Matthew 10:1–20

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12

A lot has changed since the electric clock was invented in the 1840s. We now keep time on smart watches, smart phones, and laptops. The entire pace of life seems faster—with even our “leisurely” walking speeding up. This is especially true in cities and can have a negative effect on health, scholars say. “We’re just moving faster and faster and getting back to people as quickly as we can,” Professor Richard Wiseman observed. “That’s driving us to think everything has to happen now.”

Moses, the writer of one of the oldest of the Bible’s psalms, reflected on time. He reminds us that God controls life’s pace. “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night,” he wrote (Psalm 90:4).

The secret to time management, therefore, isn’t to go faster or slower. It’s to abide in God, spending more time with Him. Then we get in step with each other, but first with Him—the One who formed us (139:13) and knows our purpose and plans (v. 16).

Our time on earth won’t last forever. Yet we can manage it wisely, not by watching the clock, but by giving each day to God. As Moses said, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (90:12). Then, with God we’ll always be on time, now and forever.

Reflect & Pray

What’s your pace in life? How could you spend more time with God, getting in step with Him?

Gracious God, when we fall out of step with You, draw us closer to abide in You.

“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you.
Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met.
Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.”

That’s very exciting! Is there much support there that we’ll never hear about from the MSM?

Well, Madison is a nuthouse, so they will always be far lefties, Milwaukee also lefties.

The local media always is negative about Trump, of course. Never a good spin on Trump no matter what.

But Trump pulled off a miracle here in 2016, and I think he will again. A republican hadn’t won the presidential vote here since Reagan.

He has exceeded all expectations I had , bigly. Ha Ha.

I’m heading off to work in a few minutes but will be back in time for the rally.

Cheers for Trump!

I love that verse. Very comforting.
