Lord Please Teach Us to Number Our Days



2 Peter 3:8-9King James Version (KJV)

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Dear Friends,

One of my favorite games as a child was "What Time Is It My Clock?"  If it was your turn to be the time keeper, "Mr. Clock" the other children children posed the the question: What time is it? If your answer was for example, 3:00 the participants tried to make it close to you before you turned around.  The first one to reach you after the succession of time questions then,became the time keeper.

In this life we know the ultimate Time Keeper is Father God.  He controls time past, time present and time future.  
I am focused on time today as I write the 365th blog entry.  A year's worth of entries written over a period of three years.  I praise God for the opportunity to share scriptures and offer encouragement to those that visit here.

The ties that bind us as Christians are faith, hope, love -- these three.  The greatest of these is love.   As the year winds down and we anticipate a new day, a new year let us be mindful of how seriously the Lord views our time.  It is precious.  The Psalmist records:

Psalm 90:12King James Version (KJV)

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

What time is it  "Bro. and Sis. Clock?" The time is right now. Today is the day. This present hour and moment is prime time for serving the Lord.

Let's draw closer to the Time Keeper.  Jesus is waiting...
God bless!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
