Psalm 90:1-12 Time Management

Psalm 90:1-12 Time Management is a sermon about the fact that God created time and how He wants us to manage my time as a Christian.

KEY VERSE:
Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.
(Psalms 90:12 HCSB)

Time is a four-letter word. Like all four-letter words, it can be misused. That is the reason we need to have good time management.

God is timeless.

Before the mountains were born, before You gave birth to the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity, You are God.
(Psalms 90:2 HCSB)

God is timeless. He uses time for His purposes.

For in Your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that passes by, like a few hours of the night.
(Psalms 90:4 HCSB)

Dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape you: with the Lord one day is like 1,000 years, and 1,000 years like one day. The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:8-9 HCSB)

What is the purpose of time? Time exists for us to mark the fact that we need God.

Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away. Who understands the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear that is due You.
(Psalms 90:10-11 HCSB)

We exist for a time, possibly eighty years in a lifetime. We struggle to survive, but we pass quickly. Yet, God wants us to take our time and manage it. He wants us to use our time best for Him.

We can’t get time back. But we can use the time we have.

OUR PROBLEM WITH TIME: We waste it

SIMPLE TRUTHS ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT

making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
(Ephesians 5:16 HCSB)

Time is the most valuable commodity you possess!
You don’t need more time!
Good time management must be driven by purpose.
Organize you time around what is really important.
You must make the commitment to use time and not let time use you.

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the time.
(Colossians 4:5 HCSB)

Measure the value of time by the quality and not quantity.

CHRONOS VERSUS KAIROS

Chronos is “clock” time or quantitative time. It is about the amount of time.
Kairos is “significant” time or qualitative time. It is about the use of that time.

Evaluate time in light of eternity.

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness
(2 Peter 3:11 HCSB)

Also, regard the patience of our Lord as an opportunity for salvation, just as our dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you.
(2 Peter 3:15 HCSB)
