Sacred Truth Friday: Time

Stephen Wiggins was in Cushing, TX holding a Gospel Meeting. So Rick Elms preached the sermons.

Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.You turn man to destruction, And say, “Return, O children of men.”For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up:In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers.For we have been consumed by Your anger, And by Your wrath we are terrified.You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion on Your servants.Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil.Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands. - Psalm 90:1-17 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm90:1-17&version=NKJV

This Psalm contains a lesson on time: time is fleeting and goes by so fast. So learn instruction from God's Word and number my days that I may give to Him a heart of wisdom when I pass from this life.

Pray the Lord teaches me to number my days.

A wonderful sermon on time by Rick Elms.

If you have not obeyed the gospel then please obey today before it's everlasting too late.

And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” - Matthew 27:31,35 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew27:31,35&version=NKJV

If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. - Matthew 27:39-40,46,50 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew27:39-40,46,50&version=NKJV
