Sermon Notes

1. Number your days intentionally and with joy.

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

Numbering our days means pausing for regular consideration of our days — recognizing the finite gift of our lives here on earth and gaining “a heart of wisdom” as we steward what God has given us.

2. See the Significance of Time

Psalm 39:4-6- “ LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.”

Psalm 39:6-7- “We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.”

3. Sense God’s Daily Intentions

Limits of myself, and the safety I find in His purposes.

Psalm 115:3 ESV- “Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases.”

Isaiah 14:24 ESV- “The Lord of hosts has sworn: “As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand.”

James 4:14 ESV- “Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”

4. Seize each moment with joy.

Psalm 16:11 ESV - “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
