Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. -Psalm 90:12
15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. -Ephesians 5:15-17
RECOGNIZE my GAP
16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. 17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! -Psalm 139:16
My time matters to God because my life matters to God
1. REALIZE my ROLE
(Jesus) You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit…. -John 15:16
Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful. -1 Corinthians 4:2
My time is not my own - every breath is on loan

29 Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ 31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” -Mark 12:29-31
