Psalm 90:12
"Teach us to number our days aright; that we may gain a heart of wisdom." NIV
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." KJV
There is no neutral ground, no "time out" in the universe. Every second we live is dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ, or it is open territory for our enemy, Satan. It is critical that we pray every day about being ready at all times to do His will and to commit our total time to His service. We don't want to leave any split second for Satan to slip in and draw us away from using our time in the perfect plan of God. Many of the evil one's ways seem good, but if we commit and trust every second of our time to our Lord, the devil will not have an opportunity to get us off the righteous and narrow path.
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for not taking every second of our lives serious and for allowing the evil one to get us off the true way of righteousness. Help us to be conscious of how precious our time is. Help us to commit each minute and second to You, so that in those moments when we are distracted, we will be under Your loving protection. In Jesus' name, Amen.
