So there's this new uprising. It's so huge it'll be viral on instagram and twitter in no time. People have started doing it from all across the world. They're even doing a new challenge to give it awareness and everything!
Okay. So it's just me.
And whether the world of social media joins me or not, I'm doing it. I need to remember that our time here is limited. That my life has purpose and to use what time I have here to do what God has called me to.
It's been inspired by the verse in the Psalms, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom," (Psalm 90:12) And I'm calling it #numberthedays.
I need this reminder, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, I believe others need this reminder too.
I find it difficult to believe, quite often, that God has a purpose for me to carry out. I'm just a confidence-lacking lassy who thinks too much of herself and not enough of other people. Who forgets to pray more often and uses the time she has to watch Netflix.
But I truly believe that God has better plans. Think, just for a moment, about how precious your time here on earth is. How short it is. What does that do?
Does it discourage you and make you want to give up? If you have given your life to Jesus Christ, I find that hard to believe. That thought drives me to Jesus Christ. He has begun a work in me and He is faithful to carry it out. He will transform us, and Christ who is living in us will do a work.
Let us remember to use the time God has given us to carry out the plan that He intended.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. (2 Thessalonians 1:11).Want to join in on the movement?
It's easy. Whenever you post a photo or message that inspires others or inspired you, or something that glorifies God, Hashtag it #NumberTheDays. Really there are no rules. You get creative and do what you will. Easy peasy, right? So... Ready. Set. Go.
