So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. — Psalm 90:12 KJV
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. — Psalm 90:12 NIV
Thought and Reflection
If we lose our desire to live a life that is pleasing to God and our family, we are in a rut! God has plans for us, for the world, and also for His church. If we do not receive His gift of “spiritual arithmetic” (numbering our days in the right way) and we’ll never be able to develop a heart full of wisdom.
How do we acquire the gift? Make a request without hesitation. Trusting the Lord for wisdom can have profound effects on us and how we conduct our lives. Instead of losing hope, God gives us a heart of wisdom.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, please guide me to understand the moment in my life, and what purpose you’d like me to fulfill in this particular stage of my life. I pray that my life be filled with praise for You. In Jesus precious and mighty name. Amen.
