When we don’t steward time well, it affects our stewardship of everything else

False Narratives represented by two "ditches":

The Hurry Ditch -- Productivity worship

The Drift/Sluggard Ditch -- Leisure worship

True Narrative = Psalm 90 gives us truths about time that help inform our stewardship 

1) God inhabits all time, any time, and beyond time.

2) Our time is limited. (We inhabit a limited time, a short time, and are constrained within time.) 

> The good steward’s response is to work from rest (instead of work for rest) 

3) We have a duty to steward our time.

> The good steward’s response is to

- "Count our days" -- Purposeful discernment

- “Make our days count” -- Redeeming every opportunity

4) Our stewardship connects us to God who is bigger than this world.

- We are made for God

- We depend on God

- “Presence” is a key missing piece in many of our lives

> The good steward responds by planning with open hands (ready for interruptions).
