Psalms 90:12
Psalms 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Moses provides an example of sensible prayer in light of God's righteous anger and wrath. He asks God for wisdom to account for our time. It is important to appreciate the moments and days that He has provided us with. We cannot predict what tomorrow will bring, which is why we should dedicate today and every day to the Lord. Living sensibly and with a purpose is essential, but taking things one step at a time is also imperative. Life should be taken one day at a time, and one should not even bother to think about the difficulties of tomorrow. As we reflect upon the brevity of our time on earth, we should recognize that our times are in God's hands, as He has planned every day of our lives in such a way that He will glorify Himself through them. During our short sojourn on earth, we should make the most of every opportunity that we are presented with. As Christians, this world is not our home since Christ has granted us heavenly citizenship and provided us with a glorious inheritance in heaven. However, each day of our lives is an opportunity that God has graciously provided for us to use wisely and diligently for His glory. A life that has focused on honoring God in thought, word, and deed has been a life of victory.
Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Psalms 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 19:21
There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
Proverbs 3:7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
