JONATHAN
Good morning! I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor for Student Ministry at Central United Methodist Church in downtown Meridian. I’m sure for most of us we’re counting down to Christmas, and perhaps we’re all anticipating the opening of a special gift or sharing a special meal with our loved ones and friends. Or maybe we’re just looking forward to a possible day off from work or school! It’s easy to wish the days away so that we can open those presents, take a day off from work, or just rest. Consider another perspective.
In Psalm 90, verse 10, Moses says, “Lord, teach us to number our days, so that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” It’s funny that Moses should write this because he spent so many years with the Israelites wandering in the desert. He would have some experience in numbering his days. What can we learn from this verse to appreciate today’s tasks, problems, joys, grief, and all of the above? Basically, let’s look forward to the future, but realize we’re living in the present. So, today, be mindful of today because it truly is a present.
