Have you checked your bank account this week, to see how money and month are doing? Have you taken a look in your freezer or your kitchen cabinets to see how much food and supplies you have in storage? Have you checked your watch to see if you're on time? Speaking of “TIME”:

*Genesis 1:14 (KJV) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

From Genesis we learn that the Lord God created “TIME” just as He created you and me! So the truth is we are His stewards for the Lord God owns all! Tonight we are going to look at another bank that a lot of people never consider, your “TIME BANK”! That is the average lifespan of males and females combined in the United States today: 27,375 days. Every day, whether or not you want to, you make a withdrawal of 1 day. When the last day has been used up we return (2 Cor. 5:8) to the Lord and He is our judge!

*Job 7:6 (KJV) My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

*Job 7:6 (CEV) and my days are running out quicker than the thread of a fast-moving needle. (Takes me back as a little boy watching the needle and thread in my mom's Singer sewing machine going up and down. And Granny Shirley's when Donna and I started dating!)

Right now take your age and multiply it by 365, now, subtract it from 27,375 days. For example, when I do the math for me I have 6935 days to live! (DON’T TAKE ME WRONG, I KNOW WE ARE NOT PROMISED TOMORROW, WE ONLY HAVE THIS MOMENT GOD’S PRESENT TO US!) If you are 50 and average, you have 9,125 days left to live. If you are 65, you have 3,650 days left to live. In other words, know this all will die or be changed at the coming of the Lord. Make sure your life means something not to the world’s standard but to the standard of the Lord!

We spend about 20 years sleeping, over 3 years eating, and about 14 years on our personal pleasure! Add them up with the time to grow up and then the limitations of growing old and we only have about 25 years of true productivity for the Lord!

*Psalms 90:1-12 (KJV) Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
