“So teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
In Psalm 90, authored by Moses, we find a rich history of God’s people under His guidance, encompassing both challenges and triumphs, including their time as slaves in Egypt. The message reflects on how God’s people often faced struggles due to a lack of adherence to His ways.
Moses, through this verse, urges us to recognize that true wisdom lies in aligning our lives with God’s teachings. Although our days may seem plentiful, they pass swiftly, reminding us that life is, indeed, a limited time offer. The essence of truly enjoying our short time on earth lies in making wise decisions, guided by the Creator who knows us best.
By ‘numbering our days,’ we cultivate intentional living. This consciousness allows us to make the most of each fleeting moment, prompting us to cherish relationships, uphold values, and pursue meaningful purposes. Understanding life’s brevity also helps us focus on eternal values, preparing for what lies beyond.
Let us praise God, not only in word but through our everyday actions, by listening to His wisdom and following His path earnestly. May we embrace each day with a heart of wisdom.
