The Brevity Of Time

From: Billy Graham Ministries

Psalm 90:12 "Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." 

As we flick the calendar to a new year, we come face to face with the fact that our days on earth are numbered. As the Psalmist wrote, "Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." 

No thoughtful person can approach New Year’s Day without some introspection. We are reminded of the brevity of time. 

We also look back over our failures, mistakes, and missed opportunities, and vow that we will make better use of our time during the coming year. We should take time to be pleasant, to smile, to extend the small courtesies we often omit to our friends, family, and acquaintances. In short, let us take time to express kindness and our love for each other!
