● Where am I experiencing the most tension in my life?

‍

And you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23 but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. 25 “This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin. 26“Here is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. Daniel 5:22-23, 25-26

‍

Today’s focus: The tension of ____________.

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, Genesis 1:26

‍

The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4

‍

The tension of time.

‍

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7

‍

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered—

how fleeting my life is (how frail my life is). 5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. Myentire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Psalm 39:4-5
