How to make every day count.
Talking Points:
- How much time does the average person waste worrying? Over a lifetime, the average person worries 6.6 years of their life away. Here is the truth: worrying about tomorrow only robs us of the life we could be living today. Did you know that most things that people worry about never even happen? Matthew 6:34
- Don’t waste your time and your life looking at the past. Instead, spend your time looking forward to what Jesus can do in you and through you. Philippians 3:13
- Wise people live as if every day is a gift from God to be enjoyed and used for him and his kingdom. Psalm 90:12

- Read Acts 8:3. How do you think Paul was able to move forward in his life considering what he had done to Christians in his early life?
- How can you move forward in your life?

- Considering that your time is limited, is there anything you think God would want you to do more? Anything that He would want you to spend less time doing?
