November 18 - Daily Message - Genesis 19:19

I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri 

​Genesis 19:19 NLT “And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day.”
 
Marking time.
 
When you are young you have so little control over where and how you spend your time. Then you don’t realize the value of time. As you get older you come to realize that time is not unlimited, and you start focusing more on what actually matters. Then you get much older and it seems you return to having little control over what you do with you time because you are no longer able to do very many things and then you start simply passing time – waiting for it to be over.
 
…and then life has been spent and you are done.
 
Time, like money, is a commodity. It can be used for many things, or it can be wasted. You can fill your time with meaningless activities or meaningful ones. You can put things off until tomorrow or you can overcram everything into today. Both extremes waste life because neither focus on the aliveness of today.
 
As I created this world, I knew what I wanted to accomplish. I knew I had 6 days to accomplish it and I paced it accordingly. When I finished the fourth da, I did not rush to start the fifth day and I also did not say – “Wow, all that creating of the lights that separate day and night was really challenging, I need a break and the agenda for the fifth day can wait.”
 
Life has a rhythm to it.
 

• Outlining what is important to the best of your knowledge
• Breaking it down into reasonable chunks
• Doing the work or activity
• Looking at what you did and evaluating it (i.e. ”and God saw that It was good.” Genesis 1:18)
• Noticing the time that has passed – marking your time and life.

 
Sometimes you know more of your path and other times you know less of it because I haven’t revealed any more than you need to know, or I am building your trust in Me, but either way….note what is good for this year, month, week, day, hour – and then go do that and be finished when you are finished and notice what you have accomplished and recognize the good you have done. Then do that again the next day.
 
Live your life with intentionality, not living for yesterday or tomorrow, but for today, to the best of your knowledge, knowing I created you for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).
