Psalm 139:15-16
My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.

New International Version (NIV)
                  All of us can see the beginning from the end.  We look back in time.  God alone sees the end from the beginning.  In the miracle of our conception, our frames were not hidden from God.  He formed us fearfully and wonderfully.
                God's presence in our conception gives us hope for the consummation of our lives.  God ordained all of our days before one of them came to be.  So how shall we make the most of this day?  As if we could waste time without damaging eternity. 
                Today and every day, every minute matters.  Make the most of this minute.   Dr. Benjamin Mays' words speak to me from a frame, given to me by a friend, "I've only just a minute, only sixty seconds in it, forced upon me can't refuse it, didn't seek it didn't choose it, but it's up to me to use it.  I must suffer if I lose it, give an account if I abuse it:  Just a tiny little minute, but eternity is in it."
Pray with me:
Father who sees the end from the beginning, help us to number our days so that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.  Let us not miss this moment to express to you our undying love.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
