Moses wrote in Psalm 90:10-12, “The length of our days is seventy years – or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away … teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
This is from the guy who lived to be 120! Despite that fact, his point is still made. We don’t live that long on this planet. Even 120 compared to eternity past and future, is smaller than the head of a needle.
Some of the questions that arise from this observation are, “Are living today or merely existing? Are we wasting time or using it? Are going through the motions or creating new ones?” Here’s something to think about: taking our drugs of choice, which means living our way, is a waste of time. We know for a fact they don’t give us what we truly long for in life – to be loved, to be secure and to do something significant. So why waste time doing them?
Today is the day to use the time God has given you on this planet to experience real living – slow down your motions and listen to and do what Jesus, the author of the abundant life, says to do in each situation you face. Becoming like Jesus is a wonderful motion to go through.

Here’s a little test. For it to work you can’t scan this entire entry. Only go line by line. No cheating! (lol) Count every “F” in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS….

How many “F”s? Count them again.

There are 6. Read it again. Go back and try to find the 6 ‘F’s before you finish reading this entry. The reasoning behind this is further down.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS….The brain cannot process “OF”.
Whether this was scientific or actually true or not is not the point. I “saw” only 3. I knew to read it carefully too. I “read” it four times before proceeding and I still missed the “of”s. I saw them, but I didn’t see them.
It’s the same with our walks with Jesus. We “think” we are “seeing” something that will help us get and stay closer to Jesus. But what we’re actually “thinking” and “seeing” is taking us away from Him and towards our drugs of choice as our brains and eyes can be playing tricks on us. We need another three sets of eyes to help us on our journey become more like Jesus – the Word of God, the Spirit of God and the people of God.
We need all three, not just two or one as seeing is not always believing.
