"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life." Proverbs 9:10-11
Do you ever wish you could turn back the clock & have another chance at some of the "wrong" decisions you made in the past? Do you ever feel like you wasted some of your years on things that didn't really matter in the light of eternity? Do you feel like you've just blown it too many times & wish you could wipe out those moments with some kind of huge eraser?
JOIN THE CLUB! Been there, done that, I've felt & thought those same things many times.
The great news is, just as these verses say, as we seek to know more of God & more of His wisdom, HE will make the MOST of our time, enriching our lives in every way. The Bible even says in Joel 2:25, that God will "restore the years the locusts have eaten away." Wow! Even those moments that maybe were not our "best moments" of life, maybe those years that seemed so difficult & trying, God says He will RESTORE them. He will use them for some kind of good in our lives - in us & maybe through us to encourage someone else.
Maybe even now, you feel that you're just beginning to see how important "time" really is, and you want to begin to MAKE THE MOST of every day by finding the purposes of God for your life. You're on the right track, don't stop, keep going right down that path of seeking after God with your whole heart! He will never leave you or desert you...things may not always go our way in this life...but God will never disappoint you. He will see you over every rocky path, and carry you through every storm, He will deepen & enrich your years more than you ever dreamed possible.
Never believe the lie that you have done too many "awful" things or that you're "too old" to really make a difference. With God - wow - anything is possible!
