*DAILY DEW 22/JULY/2023* *The Brevity of Time* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."* (Job 14:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Time is always measured in relation to a person or purpose or thing. Time is counted or measured in reference to a person's life. Your life is basically made up of time! This is why you take note of your age or years in life. How old you are, determines how and what people expects of you. When you were a toddler certain things were expected of and excused for you. You could cry anywhere and everyone would understand. When you became a teenager, you were not expected to cry for the same reasons or in the same way a toddler would do. The design of God is that time is fleeting and passing. Time is brief. Today will soon give way for tomorrow. To therefore appreciate the brevity of life is a mark of wisdom. One of the people I look up to, speaks a lot about having a "*sense of urgency*". It is basically an understanding that time is short and therefore whatever is right to be done, should be done already rather than delaying same. Paul achieved so much in life and ministry, contributing so much as 1/3 of the new testament because he strongly believes that time was short. *You will not achieve as much as you could If you live with the erroneous thinking that there is time!* When you truly embrace the philosophy that TIME IS SHORT, you will drastically hate procrastinating, wasteful or lazy lifestyle and slow decisions or actions. _MEDITATION:_ Here is a clear picture of Paul's philosophy when it comes to time: *"But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none; and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess; and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away."* (1 Corinthians 7:29-31(WEB)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
