Before We Worship

Another week has sped past us. Time flies. It is an old cliche, but that doesn't make it any less true. When we were young a lifetime seemed a long time. But as we get older one's lifetime appears too brief. This, hopefully, teaches us to live wisely. For example, consider what Moses writes in Psalm 90. Have we learned to number our days?

One way we learn to number our days is to realize that life isn't lived in big and momentous moments. That is, living a life well is not about achieving one or two amazing things. It is, rather, filling up a life with a thousand small moments with wisdom. A well-lived life is made up of a million small decisions, perhaps too small and insignificant to remember the next day, but nevertheless are places where we live in the presence of the LORD in light of eternity. But these small moments and small decisions add up and become a life.

Here, then, are small moments and decisions we can offer up to the Lord. We will take a moment to pray. We will thank him, praise him, and seek him. We will take a moment to think about his Word. We will set aside a few hours of the week and gather with God's people to worship. The fact of the matter is that life will still speed past us even if we do not do these things. But when we put God first in small moments and decisions, and then if we find that life has sped past us, we will see that we have lived well.
