Numbering in 2011

As 2010 is coming to a close and 2011 is about to begin...

Here is a number that may interest you... 28, 470. That represents the sum total of the days of 78 years on planet Earth.

20, 126 = the number of days I have lived here, as of today! That means I have 8344 days left, IF I live until my 78th birthday! I have no guarantee of tomorrow! None of us do.

However, there is a great verse in Psalm 90:12 that we should all consider as we approach 2011. It is a prayer. " Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

In other words, make us aware that our time on Earth is limited and help us to use it wisely!

How can that be practically applied? Read Psalm 90 in it's entirety. As you read it, you will get the sense that dependence on Almighty God is the way to maximize our life and work.

As you evaluate 2010 and think about 2011, put this one at the top of your list! Determine that dependence on the Almighty, in everything, will be priority.

In dependence on Him, then set your goals and go forward with passion!

Happy New Year!
