“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)

As we journey through life, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily routines and responsibilities. We can become so focused on the present moment that we forget to consider the bigger picture. But Psalm 90:12 reminds us of the importance of living with a sense of urgency and intentionality. Moses, the author of this psalm, asks God to teach him to number his days, that he may gain a heart of wisdom.

What does it mean to number our days? It means to live with a sense of awareness and appreciation for the limited time we have on this earth. It means to prioritize our lives, focusing on what truly matters, and to make the most of every opportunity. When we live with this mindset, we begin to see the world in a different light. We realize that every day is a gift, and that every moment is an opportunity to live wisely and faithfully.

So let us ask God to teach us to number our days, dear friends. Let us seek to live with a heart of wisdom, prioritizing our lives and making the most of every opportunity. May we live with intentionality and urgency, knowing that our time on this earth is limited. And may we bring glory to God in all that we do, living wisely and faithfully until our dying breath.
