‘Teach us to realise the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.’ Psalm 90:12 NLT

A woman once had a dream in which an angel was giving her this message:

‘As a reward for your virtues, the sum of $1,440 will be deposited into your bank account every morning. This amount has only one condition. At the close of each business day, any balance that has not been used will be cancelled. It won’t carry over to the next day or accrue interest. Each morning, a new $1,440 will be credited to you.’ The dream was so vivid that when she woke up, she asked the Lord to explain what it meant. He led her to understand that she was receiving 1,440 minutes every morning—the entire number of minutes in a twenty-four-hour day. What she did with this deposit of time was important because 1,440 minutes per day were all she would ever receive! And you have a similar account. At the close of each day, you should be able to look back with joy and satisfaction and see that those golden minutes were invested wisely. Someone has said, ‘Time is God’s gift to you, but what you do with your time is your gift to God.’ And it’s true. The psalmist wrote: ‘Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away…Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom…And may the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful’ (vv. 10, 12, 17 NLT).
