January 4 Seize the Day... and the Moment Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (Psalm 90:12 nlt) To illustrate the importance of numbering our days, Dr. Leslie Weatherhead once calculated the average length of life with the hours of one day. He concluded that if your age is 20, the time is 11:34 a.m. If you're 30, the time is 1:51 p.m. At age 40, the time is 4:08 p.m. By the time you reach 50, it's 6:25 p.m. If you're 60, the time is 8:42 p.m. And if you're 70, it's 11:00 p.m. That puts it into perspective for us. In reality, we may not have as much time as we think. Psalm 90:12 reminds us, "Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom" (nlt). The Living Bible says it this way: "Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should." Life is filled with opportunities. Now, what we do with them is the big question. Do we let them slip by, saying, "Maybe next time. There is always another day"? Or, do we seize them? We all know to seize the day, from the Latin term carpe diem. But do we seize the moment? Do we seize the opportunity? We shouldn't put it off too long, because life is marching by.   CONTINUE READING →
