Christmas Eve is upon us! If you are like me, you can hardly believe it! Where has 2009 gone? They say that the older you get, the faster the time flies. now we all know that the ticking of the clock has remained the same since God created time, but it does take on the appearance of wings every once-in-awhile.

That being the case, I trust that you will have an eternal perspective toward time in 2010. The apostle James wrote about our life being like “a vapor, that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). We all know full-well the reality of that statement. Moses stated in Psalm 90 that the years of our life are “soon cut off, and we fly away” (vs. 10).

Therefore, let us follow his instructions to “number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Ps. 90:12). May we endeavor to redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16) that is allotted to us by investing our life (time) in that which brings eternal dividends. Walk with god through your church. Meditate upon and memorize more Scripture. Discipline your life controlling how you spend your time. And when Christmas Eve comes quickly around next year, you will be able to say how 2010 was a very good and spiritually profitable year!

Merry Christmas!
