Psalm 90:12 says, "Teach us the brevity of life so we may grow in wisdom" (NIV)
I want to fully grasp this...to live everyday fully...to be "anxious for nothing" (Philippians 4:6)...to waste no time worrying about tomorrow or regretting yesterday. Those things drain power from my "right now moment".
I must to teach my mind to react...to reflex... into thoughts like those mentioned in Philippians 4:8 "Think on these things...whatever is true...noble...right...pure...lovely...admirable....praiseworthy". Those thoughts bring power, peace, and contentment to my "right now" and they add those things to the "right now moment" of those around me.
By intentionally setting my mind to "think on these things" I will be able to quickly recognize when my mind has drifted into areas that rob me of the power, purpose, goodness, and blessing that my "right now moment" may have for me.
Since, in the scope of all eternity, my moments are few, then my opportunities for maximizing the gift of each one is also few. God gave me these moments with intention. They are filled with purpose.
I want Him to remind me everyday of this "brevity of life" so that I can grow in His wisdom.
