Entrusted: Your First 35 Days as a Steward

Day 15 of 35 · Week 3: Stewardship of Time and Discipline

Your Days Are a Gift

Moses wrote a prayer that asks God for something unusual: "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12).

Why would anyone want to count their days? Because days you do not count are days you do not notice. And days you do not notice slip away.

Time is the one resource everyone receives in the same daily amount. The rich and the poor both get 24 hours. What differs is how those hours are stewarded.

Paul tells the Ephesians to be very careful how they live. Not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.

This does not mean filling every minute with activity. Busy is not the same as faithful. It means living on purpose. Knowing what God has asked of you and giving your best hours to it.

Your calendar is a confession. It shows what you actually value, not just what you say you value. That is not meant to make you feel guilty. It is meant to help you see clearly.

This week you will look at how God wants you to steward your time: your priorities, your rest, your habits, and your limits.

Start today by noticing. Where did yesterday's hours go?

Pray

Lord, teach me to number my days. I have often let time slip away without noticing. Give me a wise heart. Help me see my hours as Yours and spend them on what matters to You. Amen.
