Your Days Are Numbered - Live Like You Are Dying - 254

What would change if you knew exactly how much time you had left? This episode dives into the real yet often ignored reality that our days are numbered, drawing wisdom from the biblical account of King Belshazzar in Daniel 5.

The mysterious writing on the wall – "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin" – wasn't just a message for an ancient king. It serves as a prophetic reminder for us today about the brevity of life and the importance of living with purpose. We often behave as though we have unlimited tomorrows, postponing what matters most while chasing comfort and distraction.

This installment of our "Unshaken: Holding Fast in a Culture of Compromise" series explores how understanding life's finite nature transforms our priorities. When we recognize that time is precious, we naturally begin to tune out cultural noise and focus on eternal truths. Jesus taught this principle directly: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

We share the powerful illustration of rocks and gravel in jars – when you place your main priorities (the big rocks) first, the smaller daily tasks (gravel) naturally fill in around them. But if you fill your life with the small stuff first, there's simply no room left for what truly matters.

Many of us fall into what we call the "if and when trap," delaying meaningful change while waiting for perfect circumstances that may never arrive. Tomorrow isn't promised, so we must make today count. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."

Join us as we challenge each other to live with intention, reorder our priorities around what lasts, and embrace the eternal perspective that gives meaning to our numbered days. The writing is on the wall – how will you respond?
