In Psalm 90, Moses said there's an average lifespan for most people. Now Moses beat it. he lived to be 120 years of age. And yet in Psalm 90 verses 10 and 12, he said, 70 years are given us and some may even live to 80. But even the best of these years are often empty and filled with pain. Soon they disappear and we are gone. Verse 12, teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are. Help us to spend them as we should. Paul said it this way in Ephesians 5, 15, and 16. He said, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time because the days are evil. In the Bible, the word walk was an analogy for how you live your life. He said, be very careful how you live your life in light of how short time is. Make the most of your time. Number five, to prepare for your journey to heaven, minimize your pre-departure regrets.

From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. Psalm 90, verse 2. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God. There are some beings who had a beginning and will have an end, animals. There are some who had a beginning but will not have an end, angels and people. But there is only one who had no beginning and no end. That is God, 1 Timothy 1 identifies as the eternal King. Why is that important? Because it means that forever and forever and forever He will sustain His will. That's a comfort to believers, that He will get us to heaven and keep us there forever.

They're soon gone, and we fly away. Who considers the power of your anger? Your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you. So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a wise heart. Turn, O Lord, how long. Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil. Let your work be manifest to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us and prosper for us the work of our hands. Oh, prosper the work of our hands. This is the word of the Lord. Give thanks to God.
