Teach Us to Number Our Days: Embracing Every Moment with Wisdom
Have you ever found yourself caught in the whirlwind of daily life, only to wonder where all the time has gone? I once sat with a friend reminiscing about how quickly our children had grown. We laughed over old memories, but a lingering thought remained: Are we truly making the most of our days? This sentiment echoes in Psalms 90:12: "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
The Essence of Time: A Gift to Be Cherished
The Bible reminds us that time is a precious gift. Yet, we often take it for granted. Moses, the author of Psalm 90, sought God’s guidance in understanding the transient nature of life. He recognized that by appreciating each moment, we cultivate wisdom.

Key Insight: Time is fleeting; embracing each moment allows us to live intentionally.

Reflection Question: How do you prioritize your time? Are there areas where you might need to focus more deeply?
Gaining a Heart of Wisdom
A wise heart embraces life’s experiences with a mindset of growth and reflection. When we number our days, we are compelled to align our actions with our values, seeking God’s wisdom in our decisions.

Biblical Context: Proverbs 3:13 states, “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” This wisdom comes from God and influences our everyday choices.

Reflection Question: What steps can you take today to make space for wisdom in your life?
Living with Purpose and Joy
Numbering our days doesn’t mean living in fear of life’s brevity; rather, it encourages us to find joy and purpose in the everyday. When we focus on love, kindness, and spiritual growth, we enrich our lives and those around us.
