Message: – Open Heaven 26 November 2019 Tuesday Daily Devotional

Whether you believe it or not, there is a price tag of time divinely placed on each day we spend on earth. It is therefore imperative for everyone, especially children of God, to cooperate with God in order to extract the maximum value possible from each day. We can only achieve this if we continuously assess the value we place on every passing moment of our lives.

For this reason, Moses prayed in today’s memory verse that the only wise God should teach us to enumerate and evaluate our days on earth, so that we may wisely make the best use of every opportunity we have in the course of living our single lifespan on earth.

“Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.” Job 14:1-2

Reading this scripture through the lens of today’s memory verse should teach us some vital lessons. The wisdom of God in these verse teaches us that we have a fixed number of days to live on earth, and those days are few, in the overall context of what God is doing in the universe.

Every one of us must therefore place great value on each day we live, so that when the time comes to give account of what we did with our lives, it will not be said that we wasted it. Life is not like a football game that can be replayed; we only have one shot at it. The Holy Spirit puts us on notice as to this reality, saying in Hebrews 9:27:

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

The fact that God likens our lives to grasses and flowers which wither after a short while should serve as a wake-up call to us that we have a running stopwatch set against all our activities here on earth. You will therefore be wise to pay attention to the words of Hebrews 13:14, which says:

“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.”

Those who are building “towers of Babel” in order to create a name for themselves should be pitied, because they fail to recognize that we don’t have an abiding place of abode here on earth. Whether they like it or not, they will die someday. There is a Yoruba adage which says, “How many years will you spend on earth to justify making yourself a coat of iron?”

The wisdom behind this adage is that a coat of iron will outlive you, and its style might even go out of fashion before you die! Beloved, let us learn to number our days and add value to our live by serving the Lord in Spirit and truth. Lastly, Ecclesiastes 12:13 says:

“Let us here the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
