Why do days exist? What about weeks? And what about months, seasons, and years? Why do they exist? They exist to structure life on earth. They exist to help us structure our lives in devotion to Christ, the Lord of heaven and earth. What about my days, weeks, and so on exist? What have my days, weeks, and so on been devoted to?

And what about yours? What have your days, weeks, and so on been devoted to? Do not lose heart, for today is the day of salvation. Repentance is on a table set before you. Turn to Christ and devote yourself to Him. There is time, but there will not always be time. Today, therefore, repent.

Do with your days, weeks, and so on in the future what, perhaps, you have not done with them in the past. See them as practical tools to help you live your life in full devotion to Jesus Christ.

⁴ “O LORD, make me know my end

and what is the measure of my days;

let me know how fleeting I am!

⁵ Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,

and my lifetime is as nothing before you.

Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah

⁶ Surely a man goes about as a shadow!

Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;

man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

⁷ And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is in you” (Psalm 39:4-7).

Will you devote your days the Lord? Will you give your weeks to the Lord? Months, seasons, years? Death is coming. Unless Christ returns first, death will one day arrive for you. Do you know the day or hour? Certainly not! Neither of us knows even the year or decade. But we can purpose each day to live in devotion to Christ by faith.
