"Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be." ---Psalm 39:4a
How would our lives be different if we recognize our time on earth is short?

We are going to ask God to...


Turn when into now.
        Not, "When I get..., then I will..."  Do it now.
        God's assignment: Wherever you are, be ALL there
        "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." -- Psalm 118:24
        "Do not boast about tomorrow for you do not know what a day may bring forth." --Proverbs 27:1

Turn our intentions into actions.
        What are your good intentions that God wants you to do, but you have not done it yet?
        There is power when you do what God has put on your heart.
        "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." --James 4:17
        "Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act." --Proverbs 3:27

We are going to turn our whole heart toward Jesus.
        We have just a little bit of Jesus, like flu shots, to keep us from really getting him all over us.
        "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." --Mark 12:34
