“Teach us number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12)
Psalm 90:12 is a request from the Psalmist asking for a deeper understanding of the brevity and preciousness of life to gain wisdom and live more intentionally. It involves a fundamental shift in perspective from seeing time as an endless commodity to recognizing it as a finite gift, encouraging you to focus on what truly matters, live with purpose, and make choices that have lasting significance. One of the biggest mistakes many people make, is to assume that they have more time than they actually have.
We gain wisdom by remembering that our lives are brief and that our every breath is a gift from God (Job 12:10).
As you walk through this journey of life:
- What is God calling you to focus on?
- What is the purpose for your life?
- How are you living intentionally for Christ?
May God’s word be your mirror and campus to enable you grow in wisdom.
Every blessing,
